Our beautiful little princess (her name, Taylee Mei, literally means "princess beautiful") celebrated her one year mark on Wednesday. The kids and I are in San Antonio, TX and Ty is in Washington DC on business, so we celebrated with him and the Kearns side of the family on Sunday...those pictures will come in the next post. These pics are from her actual birthday May 7. I had a blast being near Krista and making a really fun cake. Carter had a blast being near Annie and playing all kinds of make-believe (which I think took a little adapting from his kind of make-believe...she is a three year old girl) and Taylee had a blast screaming, banging things, and playing with cousin Katy...they are definitely two peas in a pod.
I really wanted a fun & girly cake for her birthday. K and I found a picture online and adapted it to Taylee's colors...or rather the colors I have chosen for Taylee's favorite colors. Her room is pinks and brown polka-dots. SO...we decided to make a pinks and brown polka-dot cake with stripes. I LOVE making cakes and have really missed living by Krista to experiment...she has all the good equipment and tools. Taylee really wanted to dig into it when we first put her by it for pictures, but by the time dinner was over-she was being timid. I gave her a little push to taste the top part, and then she went right in...head first. Ty did this same thing during her "sunday party" and she absolutely loved eating that way.
Don't take it away!
The damage
Her special birthday dinner consisted of potato wedges, carrots, and chicken sticks...a few of her favorite things. She also had a leftover chicken salad sandwich...another thing I discovered on this trip that she really likes. She was such a good eater...even leaving her party hat on the entire time.
Taylee also loved opening presents. She's at such a fun age when she knows what's going on. Grandma and Grandpa got her a doll and she LOVED it...she was seriously loving on it. She has been really cute with dolls for the past little while. She squeals and hugs and kisses and rocks...so cute! She is such a girl...she loves sunglasses, shoes, necklaces, dolls. Thank you Thank you to Krista, Grandma, Grandpa, and all Tay's aunts and uncles and cousins for helping her have a very special day
Happy Happy Birthday to our sweet little gal. We love you and are so grateful to have you in our family!

oh, what a doll! I love her pigtails. It makes me so excited for when my baby girl has enough hair to do pigtails and starts getting into all the "girly" stuff. Those cake picturs are hilarious. Time sure flies by--I can't believe she is year already!

Happy Birthday Taylee! She looks so grown up with her cute pigtails! And Tecia I LOVE the cake! I've been wanting to learn how to do a fondant cake. If you want to experiment some more, I would love to experiment with you and learn your tips! You look like a pro!
