When we put her cake in front of her, Reese wasn't quite sure what she was supposed to do, but she did seem to love the "sprinkles"!
here Reese is carefully picking off the sprinkles and Jack is patiently waiting for Reese to share
Here is a shot of the spread. My mom and I had a fabulous weekend preparing for the party! We made lots of sugar cookies--one bunch with a valentine sugar cookie pan and one bunch of chocolate sugar cookies with a crown cookie cutter. My favorite part was decorating the cookies. My mom and I cracked up as we used the "dam and flood" technique of frosting the valentine cookies. My mom kept cracking jokes, like "I feel like a sixth grader!" (we were making a mess!) while I tried to keep a steady hand with my own cookies. Note: It is not easy to frost cookies while you are shaking with laughter. We also had snackie skewers for the kiddies: angel food cake with berries, rice krispie treats with apple slices, strawberries with chocolate drizzled marshmallows, and bananas covered in sprinkles.
These were my favorite part! Some of the crowns look a little rough, but they were so fun to frost!
Reese woke up the next day feeling much better. And when she saw a cupcake that had been left out from the day before, she had to have it. This cupcake was a slightly more manageable size for Reese, but again, all she wanted to do was pick off the sprinkles! I was hoping she might stuff it in her face, but she is a pretty neat eater, so no such luck.
This looks like one happy birthday girl, on her first full day as a one-year-old!

Crazy she is one! I love her cupcake pajamas- where did you get those? They are perfect (I think you need a pair- do they come in adult size?) ;-). That spread of treats looks delicious and that is quite the huge cupcake! Happy birthday to Reese!
