Picking what cake to make for Annie was not hard. I'm in the process of redo-ing her bedroom. All butterflies and daisies. So in keeping with that theme, here is what I came up with for this special day.
And, because we are good parents, we gave her the entire butterfly. Something to note about said butterfly is that it was decorated with nearly an entire tub of frosting. Shhhh..... Don't tell! Another thing to note is that my fantastic color choices, when mixed together, make purple. Yep, purple. She really enjoyed her cake. This picture does no justice to her true enjoyment, but I'm sure you can imagine if you know our rambunctious eater!
One toy that I've wanted to be the first to give our little girl is a baby doll. She L.O.V.E.S. it! She also got a stroller and baby bed and high chair for it, because, well....I'm over the top with birthdays. Among other very generous gifts Marianne was given some of the highlights are a wagon, a musical ball toy, a doll house, a pop up toy, strawberry shortcake, a school house, and two My Little Ponies (one from her brother!)
Marianne has reached some wonderful mile stones, and some not so wonderful ones, too. She has learned biting in self defense (at least for now it's self-defense), signing many things, saying "Hi" to everyone she sees, and my favorite, when asked if she loves you, a nice hug in return!
