Our Girls Ghana Wild

These little ladies are the best of friends.

They also happen to be cousins.  Just 8 months apart.

When we lived with my parents for 11 months last year, these two spend almost 4 days of every week together.  And they still couldn’t get enough of each other.

   There’s nothing quite like belly laughs between friends on your birthday.

Throw in a little rock jumping, and you have a recipe for delight! 

Why have they “Ghana” wild, you may ask?

{besides the fact that they now only get to see each other about once a month}

Well, because their auntie “Poo” {my baby sister} had these gorgeous little dresses custom made for them while she was in Ghana, of course.

She’s expressive.  And easily excited.

{I have no idea where she gets it from}

She also happens to love cake.

She’s even down with sharing the cake throne.

And the cake…? 

A tribute to my mom; inspired by the Kewpie dolls she would stick in our cakes, year after year, and delight our chubby little cheeks with.

It’s also a farewell of sorts.

And a hint at what will be featured in our birthday cake world from here on out…

Goodbye conventional birthday cakes…hello cake pops.

Come to momma!
