Final bit of birthday spam for the day.

Storie with her birthday cupcake. And the aftermath.

Love my little one.

That smile. She’s got me wrapped around her finger.

There is no currency system in the world that could possibly place a value on this smile.

Happy 0.5 Month Birthday, Storie!

The girls really enjoy working with us in the kitchen, and have been asking to bake something for a while.  Since Storie turned 6 months old today, it seemed only appropriate that we bake a cake for her…because…you know…6 month old kids can totally appreciate and eat cake.  So it was for her benefit and exactly what she wanted.

Stacie asked the girls what they wanted us to make Storie: Arwen wanted a white cake, and Greer, of course, wanted chocolate.  Well, why not compromise!

What you see above you is 2 different recipes from the incredibly amazing BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking.  The cake itself is the Whiteout Cake, and the Milk Chocolate Frosting is from the Malt Ball Cake.  It’s amazing.  Incredible.  Really tasty.  Yummy.  It won’t last until tomorrow.

It is SO GOOD!

And, well, they don’t make 6-month-old cake toppers, so we decided to go with a decimal point.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

There’s a huge part of me that can’t believe that she is 6 months old today.  Crazy.

And so, so grateful and blessed.  Happy half-birthday, kiddo.
