cake smash

i think the best part about turning one is the cake.

i mean, it's like the only thing that you really have to do.

the smash.

maggie got two!

that lucky duck.

we had one a week and a half ago that was a little premature.

it was a mini smash. just a cupcake.

grammy and appa were out for a visit and we couldn't let them leave without seeing at least one kid covered in sweets.

and a couple days after her birthday we pulled out the full cake.

we still had it sitting around because we weren't about to do a cake smash on the beach.

you should see the mess from that second one. it spreads halfway across our kitchen. no joke.

plus there is a lovely cake crumb trail to our bathroom,

and poor mike doesn't even have any leftover cake to enjoy.

so that's it.

that's the end of our birthday posts.

i feel like every other post for the past two or three weeks has been birthday related.

but our cake today signals the end of birthday-palooza.

at least until next year, which i'm sure is going to come way too fast.
