Wanes

It is quite a bit late but...Elena turned 1 in July. (time flies) I love this kid to death! She is a genius, and truly one of the sweetest babies ever. We have a great little bond. She loves her AUNT. (Aunt was one of her first words!) And I LOVE MY WANES!!!

She loves sitting on shoulders, singing songs, jibber-jabbering, playing with her bebes, eating food, walking all over, socks on the hands, upside down baby, shoes, saying "Bees" aka please, nanas (bananas), playing with GG, cell phones, giving kisses, playing with clothes, books, and being with her family. She also loves naps and going night, night. Surprising, I know.

Would a lady bug themed birthday be complete without a lady bug shaped cake? I think not! This is my first ever carved cake. I was a little hard, but I think it came out okay. Fondant does not taste good, but it sure makes cakes look pretty!

The sweet birthday girl getting ready to blow out her candle and start smashing the cake. Too bad 25 seconds later she realized everyone was looking at her and burst into tears. Like aunt, like niece. That's a saying right? Well it should be.
