One year behind us

Today was a celebration that Ethan and Sydney are 1 year old and I celebrated because the first year is behind us and they are still alive!  I had moments where I wasn't sure we'd make it.  Too bad that Ethan was pretty sick on his birthday.  I searched high and low for a cupcake recipe.  We tried out 2 others before finding this gem of a recipe from a chef on the show "Cake Wars".  I was looking for a recipe without eggs (they haven't had them yet) and without refined sugar.  We thought it was a hit (as well as many family members that liked them) but E&S weren't so sure.  Ethan spit out every bite he took and Sydney nibbled a little.  Made for some pretty boring photos.



She is such a princess...look at that face.  She is a pretty clean eater...like her mother--and her mother likes it!

They received some award-winning presents and they have loved playing.  I will be able to get a lot done because they will be so enthralled with their toys.  I'll give the toys some awards too for that!
