^ "that sounds awesome!"

^ "i'm going to love looking at that one blue wall my mom and aunt helped paint while i fall asleep (without crying all night)."

^ "hopefully my puppies will sleep with me in my new room too!"

^ "i think aunt anna took this picture in the dark...

but aren't i ADORABLE?!"

^ "i'm going to miss my friend chepi..."

^ "...but now that i'm starting to grow out of my clothes..."

^ "...i need a room of my own to sleep in!"

^ gosh. remember when he was just this big?

yum + 1 more.

^ extra raspberry cream cheese frosting obviously meant i had to make more cupcakes today. these were of the yellow cake variety (with mini chocolate chips mixed in). each is garnished with the raspberry frosting, 3 small raspberries + 15 mini chocolate chips.

still a few of these left...

if you want one, let me know!

yum x 2.
