Halli turned two years old last weekend! I swear each year seems to go by faster and my kids are suddenly a year older. One of my family's birthday traditions is that I make my kid's birthday cakes, like this years bunny cake. I make old school cut up cakes just like I had when I was a kid.

I can't believe I still haven't shared any part of Sawyers birthday so far besides his laundry basket photos. For his actual birthday we didn't too much since it was a weekday but we did go out to Friendly's for lunch and Daddy got out of work to join us. Sawyer was pretty happy that his kids meal came with a sundae covered in m&m's. Afterwards we headed over to the mall and went to … [Read more...]

If you told me a year ago that I'd be making a character cake from scratch instead of buying one from the grocery store I would have laughed at you.
