Cupcakes and a Birthday Party

A couple of my best-ies had birthdays over the weekend.  These two are twelve months and two days apart and most of the time are best friends.  This year was an "off" year for parties with friends, so they opted for a combined family party- score!

My sister and her roommate, Ashley, came down from Utah for the occasion.  Lucky for me she happens to be the Cake Optimist and offered to make the cupcakes - double score!  They were SO delicious.  My favorite part...the coconut filling.  To. Die. For.  Fortunately it was my binge day {still on that dumb diet} so I ate 3.  Un-fortunately, I had to been seen in my swimsuit after that :(

If you're in the Provo area, give Ashley a holler - she's also great with fondant.

My favorite picture of the day.  They opened up their cards and were completely shocked when money fell out.  Who cares about a new bike when you have six bucks!  Right?

Thanks for putting up with my family posts :)  Life has been hectic and it makes me crave family time.  After this next week I'll have a few stressful things out of the way, and I'll be back to posting more before and afters.
