• Mickey Mouse Party

    My little nephew turned one year old yesterday.  He’s just the cutest, cuddliest, happiest kid ever.  He’s the result of my {Lemon Drop Cupcakes} from a year ago, the first time we experimented with the secret lemon-juice-theory recipe.  Who knows if it worked, or if this little guy was just ready to come into the world, but I can’t imagine my life without my favorite bald-headed monster.
