Happy New Year

It was a busy week. On the 26th we celebrated a joint birthday for my Mom and Mikayla. We celebrated with one of our favorites, waffles/strawberries and whipped cream. We had banana cupcakes with white chocolate ganache. My friend Deb recommended them and they truly were yummy! Mikayla loved her new gifts and especially her new walker.

Monday, we left for Victoria. We were able to have a second Christmas with Sean's family and celebrate Mikayla's birthday. We enjoyed spending time with family, going for a hike, playing at an indoor play center and eating good food.

One thing I was really hoping to make for mikayla's 1st birthday was a butterfly cake. With everything else going on, there just wasn't the time to be able to make one. I told Nanee that any cake would be fine. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that she had made Mikayla a butterfly cake!! It was cute and it tasted great too.
