We had a family birthday party for Ainsley on Sunday.
Here are the girls in their "party dresses." For Cecily, party dresses are a MUST!
The girls hanging out before the guests came.
Pink and purple were the colors of choice.
Cec helped Daddy put balloons all over the house.

I've decided that my talent does not lie in cake decorating. I have good intentions, but what I imagine in my head is DEFINITELY not how the finished product looks!
CAKE TIME!
Applauding the latest horrid rendition of the Happy Birthday song. My family likes to compete for the worst sounding version of the song. It sounds lovely, I tell ya!

The first taste...
Grandma and Papa Tornow
I think the kids were the most excited to get a taste of the pink mess...
Auntie Jana (my cool sis who came even though she felt like crud--THANKS!)
It may look "interesting," but it was YUMMY! Strawberry cake from scratch with homemade strawberry filling and cream cheese frosting.
Ainsley's enjoying it, and being quite neat about it as well.

Come on, do you REALLY think a 1-year-old can use a fork?

1st birthdays are the best. Looks like a lot of fun. The cake looked great. I am impressed that you made it from scratch. Way to go. I don't think I have ever done that.
I love the pics of Ains eating her cake!!
And what you really should have done was made another Tranny looking birthday cake! Because after all, I hear that is your specialty!!
The party and party go'ers look so cute! The cake looks so yummy too! Love that Ainsley loved her cake - so cute!

What a cute birthday girl and party! I can see more and more Cecily in Ainsley. Where does the light hair come from? You are a cute mom, the cake looks YUMMY! The poop story is hilarious, I can't imagine Cecily talking like that, she's just baby Cecily from how I remember her.
The cake looks delish! Good job, Jen!
