Maeve celebrated her 2nd birthday in June. Joel is the family cake decorater. Maeve is very into Winnie the Pooh these days (thanks to the ride at DLand) so we decided to make her a Pooh cake. I made this lemon cake from scratch that would have been really good except that the kitchen was literally 95 degrees while I was making the cake so the egg whites never really got peaky, thus making the cake a bit thick. It was bearable with ice cream but probably could have knocked you out had I thrown a piece at you! Joel did a great job decorating. When Maeve saw it she said, "Doggy" which was a little disappointing to Joel. He told her it was Winnie the Pooh so she decided it was a Winnie the Pooh Doggy. Before Winnie the Pooh and all his books were called  "Winnie the Pooh ride" and now they are "Winnie the Pooh ride doggy". And here is a little family photo with a pregnant me. We had the table in the living room because the air conditioning unit doesn't reach the kitchen and it was 100 degrees outside (and practically that in the kitchen)We had Maeve's favorite friends over, Fevzi and Gokcen and their new son, Daghan. Mr. Potato Head from Grandma and Grandpa was a big hit. Adelle and Maeve play for hours with them. They especially like to put the face pieces in their mouths pretending Mr. Potato Head's tongue/eyes/nose is their own. No matter how many times they do it they still fall over laughing.She also liked all the clothes, jewelry, and the cute crown that came with Aunt Michelle's card. Thanks for being so generous with the gifts!
