Can I eat that one?

Tonight we spent preparing for Lil Miss's birthday party. I kind of had a theme and kind of didn't. I just didn't want to get into a specific theme since i know in a few years she will be picking what she wants. So for this first birthday I wanted to stay really simple. So i decided to do primary colors, balloons & blocks. My sis JR flew in for the festivites and so was also able to help us prepare. I can not thank her enough for helping. She made the meatballs, while i prepared the pototoe caserole, so all that we had to do on Saturday afternoon was put the caserole in the oven, turn the meatballs, ham & green beans on. It worked out nicely. Then it was onto the cake... or more so the cupcakes. I decided that i was going to make and decorate them myself this year. I cheated a little since i got box mixes and icing from the store, but otherwise we made them ourselves. It was a fun expereince and again i and soooooooooo glad JR was here to help.

Mr. C helped on and off throughout the evening, more than anything he just wanted to eat them all!!! But he did help ice some of them.

Work in progress....

JR was on a roll, she did like 3 okay maybe more like 5 to my one....
