1st Birthday
The big day finally arrived; Duncan and Owen’s first birthday party! (Click on the photos for larger views.)
The Birthday Cake.
The Birthday Cupcakes. My mom made the boys cupcakes from the same recipe she made my first birthday cake from now almost 30 years ago. (30 years tomorrow, yikes!) It’s a spice cake with raisins, whole wheat, and honey for sweetener and cream cheese icing sweetened with fruit juice.
Duncan decided to see what this thing was, while Owen wasn’t so sure he’d like it. Owen ended up not liking the texture of the icing.
Owen finally decided he liked it after all. The cake part, that is.
Duncan loved the cupcake!
Opening their first birthday present.
Happy Birthday, sweet baby boys!








So cute! Looks like you had a fun celebration!
Happy Birthday Boys!!!!! So fun. Love the cake shots
Happy birthday to the boys, and to you too, Danielle!! What a week of celebrating! The pictures are just adorable.
Happy birthday to you all! What sweet pictures.
Yeah, someone else who has three family birthdays all within days of each other…and a holiday thrown in for good measure!
Looks like you all had a great time–wish we could have been there.
Hope to see you guys again soon.
What fun! I’m enjoying catching up on your blog. Can’t believe these little cuties are a year old!
Could you share the cupcake recipe? I don’t know if I’ll be all healthy and good like that when E turns one, or if I’ll just let him have chocolate
