Winnie Takes The Cake

It's hard to believe a year has passed since our lovely little Winnie joined our family. From day one all of us have been smitten with her and the only thing that has changed is the amount of love we have for her. 

Charly and Piper helped me make her birthday cake. Piper picked the inside (chocolate) and Charly picked the outside decoration (every last bit homemade, of course). We had left over fondant in the freezer from Charly's birthday so we decided if we were going to make her cake we may as well put some fondant on it! You only turn one once right? In the past I have been against having a really sweet birthday cake for the babes but I just couldn't resist making one up for Winnie. I just knew she would love it, and boy did she ever! 
Out of the three girls Winnie is the first to actually take a bite and eat her cake. At one point she had stuffed cheeks. Made this momma and daddy proud. We all were so excited to see her enjoying her cake!
 
Of course she wanted to share her sugary, love filled cake with the older girls, and Charly and Piper happily gave in to her generosity. This (below) is my favorite picture!
A few days before her actual "party" the girls got to pick out something for Winnie to unwrap. Charly picked this red velvet dress and Piper got her a fun little clickety clackey ball.
It's so fun to see her little hands tucked into her birthday cake! Winnie is awesome and we love her so so much!
 So, my friends, this is what one looks like! A jolly, squishy, full of life and love, one!
