Alora's Song

Ok, so I know that this has nothing to do with cakes but I had to put this on my blog. I want to remember this sweet song for the rest of my life. Alora, my four year old, sang this to Ann-Marie, her one year old sister, yesterday to calm her down.



Please don't cry Ann-Marie
Do not fear in the darkness
God is always with you
God never stops loving you
Don't you fear Ann-Marie Joy Squirt
God never takes his eyes off you
He made the green Earth
He made the bright stars in His holy will
You cannot see Him but He is with you
I do not cry anymore
God never lets go of the world
He died on the cross for our sins
God can make all the food in our houses
He can do all His holy will
God can never stop loving you

Ann-Marie's One!

While my family was in town we celebrated Ann-Marie's 1st birthday. I can't believe she is one already. She loved the cake so much that she started digging in before we could even sing Happy Birthday to her. Once she got a piece she just picked up the whole piece and shoved it into her little mouth, it was so cute. Happy Birthday, Ann-Marie, we love you.

Mom's 50th Birthday

We celebrated Eric's mom 50th birthday a couple of weeks ago. Earle (Eric's dad) put together a surprise party for her in Greenville. It was a lot of fun. Ann-Marie, our youngest daughter, spilt two whole drinks during the course of the meal and the waiters at the restaurant ended up ripping off part of the rug and brown icing on mom's cake. But, over all it was a lot of fun with many laughs.

The cake above is a fondant figure of her reading a book and her dog Mini curled in her lap. This is one of her favorite activites. The cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and raspberry filling.

Love you mom.
