Elena's First Birthday

James spends two days a week with a wonderful pair of girls--Clara and Elena. We visited with them this weekend to celebrate Elena's first birthday. Cupcakes were consumed.

James thought decorating was great--his method involved taking pieces of hard candy and jamming them deep into the soft part of the cake, then covering them over with pieces of chocolate. I don't know if he was aware that the likely consequence of this system would be broken teeth and enraged relatives/friends.

We visited Bridgewater, MA for Christmas with my mom. On Christmas Eve we decorated this shockingly green tree-shaped cake.
