Another Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Max!

You have been an absolute

dream child

the past

2 years!

Thank you for going easy on your Daddy and I.

We are madly in love with you and your

mellow temperment,

humble disposition,

kind, fun-loving spirit,

and contagious smile!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures

of you my beautiful, sweet baby.

Here are some pictures of our little party for him.
Jack and Grace were more excited fot the celebration than Max was.
They kept saying VERY excitedly... "Happy Birthday Max" ALL evening.

It was so sweet.
They truly love their little brother to pieces!

We love you Maxwell!

This morning when I got Max out of his bed I

Kissed him and said

"Happy Birthday"!

He then smiled and said

"Cupcake?!"

Needless to say, I made cupcakes for his celebration.

I used Alicia's recipie. (Here is her Blog !) It is super yummy and quite simple. I checked with her and she said she didn't mind if I gave it to my freinds so here it is!

This cake is moist yet very durable and will hold up to many shapes and designs.

It is light in taste and stays moist if making a day or two ahead.

1 Duncan Hines Yellow (or White) cake mix

4 egg whites

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 small pkg of instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup sour cream
Incorporate all ingredients together one by one on low speed. Make sure to mix thoroughly between each ingredient. Once all ingredients are mixed turn mixer to medium and mix for approximately 2 minutes. Bake at 350 until golden brown.

(For cupcakes about 20 min).

*Sometimes I make filled cupcakes too!
