We celebrated Jeff’s birthday yesterday, it was crammed right in between a busy school schedule and a busy work schedule. Finn and I try our best to make it special, starting with the best birthday cake to date.

Finn helps by decorating all of Jeff’s gifts, not only do his drawing stylez look cool but decorating distracts him from helping untie all the ribbons.

You knew that crayons work good for drawing but did you know that they also make great afternoons snacks?

Things are looking good around the Allen household.

Inside the four layered cake. This is the first cake I’ve made all from scratch, I used this cake recipe and this frosting recipe. The cake was 100% de-lish, believe it!
