Maya Jane turns one!

Maya's first birthday party! She is showing off the sunflower shoes her Uncle Yanni got her.

Maya had a little too much sugar by this point...you can see she is a little out of it. :) She does love cake though! She's more like her Aunt Emily in that way than her mommy.

I had fun making this monkey cake for Maya's birthday. She has a miniature monkey "smash cake" in the background that she devoured.
This was actually her first birthday cake--on her real birthday. The monkey cake was a few days later at her party. One day is really not enough when it comes to birthdays.


What a wonderful year! It went by SO quickly, but Joe and I have so many great memories. Maya is such a gift from God--words cannot express how precious she is to us.

Gotta love this girl.

PRECIOUS!

1. Yes, the monkey cake was adorable, but let's hear it for the artfully decorated white icing/sprinkle cake!

2. The pic where Maya is wearing the red shirt with the Bam-Bam hair was part of my "Happy Birthday Auntie Heather" email!

3. I love Maya... and you guys too. :)

Yay! Happy birthday, 1-year-old MAYA JANE! Your birthday cake(s) was/were adorable. MONKEYS!!! Wish we could have celebrated with you. I think you are the first 1-year old I've seen (through pictures) to actually devour the smash cake :) Love to you all! ~ Rachael and fam
