Happy Birthday Brooke

I can't believe my baby is one. The past year has gone by so quickly. I can still remember bringing her home from the hospital and wondering what am I going to do with two kids. It was challenging at first, but things have calmed down and are more manageable.



For Brooke's birthday I decided to make the famous rainbow cake that everyone at work has been talking about. Chloee helped me and oh what fun we had! The design looked so cool in the cake pan.




After the cake was made and out of the oven cooling, I decided to venture downstairs and run, Brooke was asleep and Chloee usually follows me down shortly after. Well as I'm running I can here a kitchen chair sliding across the floor. I thought, Chloee just wants to see the cake. Well after awhile I see Chloee through the basement door and she has a plate in hand. You guessed it. Chloee had helped herself to Brooke's cake. This is what you get when you leave a three year old upstairs unsupervised...




I didn't know what I was going to do, but I wasn't going to bake another cake. Today after church I made the frosting and frosted the cake as is. Tyler got home and looked at it and we both decided it needed help. So we made the petal out of frosting and patched the cake. No one will ever know.


We had such a great time at the party. Brooke wasn't sure what to do. All of our family came over for presents and cake and ice cream. Thanks to everyone who came, we had a blast. Brooke got some cute outfits, books and more toys. She especially loved the cake. After she was done, she got in the bathtub and played with her new bath toys. Here are a few pics from the crazy fun.
