Archie’s birthday isn’t until Tuesday, but we had a small party for him today.
I made cupcakes with icing peaks.
Behold my amateurish stab at writing Archie’s name on his big cake:
Aidan made a banner.
The 9 of us, preparing to take a family portrait.
Archie shows a cupcake who is the boss.
Because his birthday is in dreary January, I wanted his first birthday cake to reflect his vibrant personality. I made another rainbow cake.
The cake stand reminded me of an artist’s palette.
All hail the conqueror of the cake!
Happy Birthday to our baby boy.
That’s awesome! Happy Birthday, Archie!!

The nine of us . . . I loved that. Made me grin a lot.
I have a lot of internal conflict with a January baby. Prior to Dacey, I loathed January with all of my being. It’s so long and dreary and COLD. Now I have to dig deep and become celebratory, and honestly, it’s good for me.
She really wants a red velvet cake this year, but she might be swayed by that rockin’ rainbow cake!
