Cupcakes Galore

Penelope’s birthday party was a success. Her theme was CUPCAKES! Who doesn’t love a cupcake? They are delicious, pretty, and the perfect portion. Cupcakes were everywhere… they were on her invitations and on her banner. Of course, we had them as dessert, and as favors.  We even had a giant cake in the shape of a cupcake! We’re saving the cake for her 12 month photoshoot coming up in a couple of days. Look out for the return of Penelope Coco Stanforth Glamorous Glamorous.

We had quite the turnout!  The Colorado Stanforths(Kraig, Karen, and Maddie) were able to make it. I had three out of towners too. My sister -in-law flew in from Arizonia, and my BFF flew in from Michigan. My mother-in-law Lynne drove from Michigan en route to her new home state-AZ. We even had some Skype time with Pops(aka Grandpa Stanforth) as well as Daddy! Talking AND seeing Devon was the best gift of all! So grateful that he was available.

Penelope loves all of her gifts! She got toys, clothes, miniature Camelback water bottles,high floating high chair, video baby monitor, shoes, and books. My favorite gift was one from Pops. He got her bib that reads, “I love chapstick.” I got the matching water bottle. Like mother, like daughter!  

Violet was a hit

We all had fun watching Nellie devour her cupcake. She was timid at first, but then she really dug in with both hands. Again, who doesn’t love a cupcake? Nellie and Graham loved their Key Lime Pies.  Here are some photos.

She knew exactly what to do with the candle...lick off the frosting!


Mmmm....

"Here Mom, you try some"

Graham used two hands

Here are some more of my favorite pictures of Miss P.
