We had Adam and Jen over for dinner on Sunday since Hannah and Arlo were in town. Eric went to church with them and Megan and I stayed home with Dane since he still has a few weeks until he's 2 months old and can go to church. It was Adam and Jen's little girl, Mya's, first birthday that day. I realized that I had a cake mix and ingredients for Grandma Taylor's frosting recipe, so I made cupcakes because I strongly believe that everyone deserves to have cake on their birthday, especially when it's their first. I even had violet food coloring and they were adorable. I made them instead of taking a nap, thinking that's what you would have done. When everyone arrived home from church, Eric said that he could smell that I had made something. When I showed him the cupcakes (on my cute cupcake stand, of course) he said, "You are your mother's child" and it made me smile inside. You were such a great example of how to serve and make others feel special and I'm trying to do the same. Watching tiny Mya's expressions while she dug into her violet cupcake and make a mess of it, more than made up for my lack of sleep. Of course I busted out my camera and took pictures. I know she won't remember that day, but her mom will and how someone took a little time to make her little girl feel special on her first birthday.
