Well, although we've barely gotten to our own baby we're surrounding by loving little girls who both have turned one over the past 2 weeks.
First up we had Kajal's (our friends Lenny & Premika's daughter)first birthday party on the 26th of November which just happened to fall on her actual birthday. Last year we were getting ready to go to Taupo for my 42km Cycle Challenge the day she was born so this year, besides the fact that I am pregnant and unable to ride, we had to pull out of the race to celebrate our little munchkin's birthday. The Friday I baked 2 cakes for the party, a carrot cake and a red velvet chocolate cake and the Saturday morning we were off to their place, well when I could finally drag myself out of bed. I've been really exhausted over the past few weeks and early mornings just aren't my thing. The party was a great success, our little girl looked so gorgeous in her white dress and little ballet pumps. Here's just some pics of the birthday party.

We then had baby Zivah's birthday on November 30th. As it was during the week Evelyn & Api decided they would have a BBQ on Friday night and then have a little party for her on Saturday with their family. Evelyn asked me to bake a red velvet cake as well so I did that on Thursday night and then iced the cake on Friday night. I normally make a white meringue type frosting but for Zivah I added some pink coluring and made a yummy pink frosting for her. (Sorry was such a rush so I didn't get to take pics.)
It wasn't a very formal do so we didn't get to take pics with the birthday girl but here's some pics of the two of them from Kajal's party.
