Snowman Birthday Cake
Yesterday was Hubby’s birthday. We made his cake. Hubby requested a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Together they were good but one piece was more […]

Three
October 14th marked Mrs. Sayuri’s third birthday. I adore the person that she is. She says the funniest things, understands more than I can believe sometimes and is very inquisitive… she’s also beginning to test our limits (and patience) more and learning how to be a big sister.
