Rachel's first birthday

I can't believe it's already been 1 year since my sweet baby girl was born.

A lot changes in a year...

The birthday girl one year later (already half her friends are in college)...

So we all celebrated with little homemade cake: white cake with raspberry filling,
raspberry-chocolate buttercream frosting, and fondant decorations...I love baking!

Rachel's cake:

Logan's cake (or so he thought, but in reality the rest of us and our guests shared this one):

Logan giving his baby sister some pointers about what to do with the cake:

My inspiration for the cake design:

I feel so incredibly blessed to have this little girl in my life. It is fun seeing bits of her personality become more defined: she's a bit of a firecracker (she's got spunk even at this age); determined (when she sees dad's records she will do anything to get to them and throw them down); silly (she likes rolling around the couch laughing and growling); sweet (she claps for us when we do things she likes, blows kisses, and smiles at everyone); independent (put her in a room full of kids and she'll go find some stuff to do by herself for awhile).

Thank you Jesus for the privilege of being a mom to Logan and Rachel!
