Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

It's been two weeks since Maddie's birthday, but since we've had a little something called Christmas, I give myself some slack for getting these pictures up a little late.


Madeleine had a great birthday party. It was just her mom and dad, Grandma and Grandpa Pfeifer, Granny Schnepel, Grandpa Green and Grandma Chris. We had appetizers, presents, and then the big moment...the cake.

I made her a vanilla birthday cake that I was very proud of. It was my first attempt at birthday cake. Even though I frosted it 24 hours after baking, the frosting started melting down the cake. By the time the party started it was completely melted off. We were all perplexed. It must have been melty frosting. Luckily, Jason ran out and got her a new cake. It was still delicious. Next year, Mommy is going to make her own frosting.

Let's just say, Madeleine loves cake. You could see the wheels turning in her head. She started oh so dainty, dipping her finger in the frosting and licking it like a lady. Within moments, she had the cake in both hands. It took her 2 days to recover, but it was worth it.
