Childs Play

Lily's actual birthday is in fact tomorrow but in Chinese tradition since we could not have her party on the actual day we had it before. Apparently you never celebrate their birthdays after the actual day always before it and who am I to mess with traditons that are thousands of years old. I am not about to jinx my kid for a whole year.

Since her party is already over and done with tomorrow will be just a quiet day with family and friends. We needed another birthday cake so we decided to make this one and Lily wanted a ladybug one and wanted to do the whole thing herself. It was hard for me to stand back and let her do it but I did and here is the result. I think she did extremely well. (I told you before she was smart)

I love this photo with her standing in her undies. My kid is NEVER fully dressed....you may have noticed. It's a godd thing we live in a warm climate.

  5. Wow! Lily did a fantastic job with that ladybug cake -- it looks beautiful AND delicious!

    My Lily likes to walk around naked all the time, too. But, at least when she sat in the frosting you only had to clean her panties, right!?

    Happy Birthday sweet Lily...enjoy your very special day.
