Jackson's 1st Birthday Cake

"Our Little Pumpkin is Turning 1!"

Betty Smith of Village Bakery did an AMAZING job on Jackson's cake! She put his picture from his birthday invitation ON the cake (100% delicious & edible) along with the coordinating cupcake toppers I had custom ordered to coordinate with Jackson's party colors. Betty always exceeds my expectations, and, believe it or not...the cake was as delicious as it was beautiful!

The cake was almost as big as Jackson!

Check out this delicious cake!
 (I can hardly wait for Noah's party!)

Elizabeth's 40th Birthday Party Invitation & Cake

Elizabeth's 40 & Fabulous Birthday Party

I gave Elizabeth a surprise 40th birthday party. She figured out the surprise part, and actually DIDN'T want to have it! Seriously?!? At this point, clearly, she didn't know I actually scrapbooked for her...and that I had to plan it while I was in Michigan, at night. That's a whole other story that I'll leave out lol. But long story short, the SURPRISE was that she actually had FUN! We had the greatest time. I made a Shutterfly book that had 40 things I loved about her. I included in the book pictures that her mom sent me from when she was a baby/growing up. I also had her mother and her kids make a list of 40 things they loved about her. We had bar-b-que outside, margaritas, and fabulous fun just with our close family/friends. The kids swam and Jackson was so wore out that he fell asleep on Elizabeth's father's shoulder outside. It was so cute. Everyone loves a sleeping baby. Perfect. Happy birthday to my 40 & Fabulous best girl, Elizabeth! Love you!
