Mommy's Little Helpers

Tonight a small group of us (Katie, Wallis, and Kelsea Laughrey and all of us Stahrs) went to the Killins' house to celebrate Ron's birthday. I was in charge of making his favorite cake-The Famous Chocolate Cake. The girls decided they were going to help. While Mazie was at school this morning, Jamie helped me make the cake. She was so excited to wear Mazie's little apron and pour in the ingredients (which remain a secret-except for those select few!). Jamie even took a break to say, "Love CluckCluck Cake". When the cake batter was ready to be poured into the cake pans, Jamie decided it needed one last stir!

When Mazie came home from school, the cake was cooled and ready to frost. This is really Mazie's favorite part, of course. So she dressed in her little apron and got a butter knife and started to spread the icing. We weren't even half way through when she decided to start "frosting" her finger and licking it.

Anyway, this was part of a birthday gift for Ron. I just wanted to show him how much love went into his birthday cake. It's not every day someone gets a home made cake from such great helpers. We all hope Ron has another great year ahead!

mmmmmm...Megan's chocolate cake. That post was a little cruel to those of us who didn't get to be there for the yumyums!

How did you get such great pictures of the cake-baking? Let me guess...J.J.?

The girls are growing up so fast! Carissa and I can't wait to see them again. That is a classic shot of you three making a cake together. Megan, just don't let the little princesses get their hands on the "How-To Book" on Jello tossing (those were the days...lol)
