couple of birthdays

S's & my birthdays always fall near Easter.  When I was growing up, my mom always went with a sticky sweet spring/pastel color/baby chick/lamb theme for my birthday cake, and I sort of always thought it was kind of baby-ish, and ended up avoiding that stuff like the plaque.  This year S suggested "baby chicks and lambs and spring flowers" for her party theme.  Sigh.  Don't we all have the opposite tastes of our parents?

We went for a low-key birthday for S this year, and only had 2 friends over instead of a major production.  They played and decorated cupcakes.  I decorated 3 ahead of time with the spring theme for them, and made a bunch of fondant flowers & leaves for them to use too.
For my b-day we invited another family over for dinner and cake.  One of their daughters has a birthday close to ours so we decided to celebrate all three again.   The friend's favorite color is purple, S's is green, and lately I'm loving aqua/teal, so our cake was themed around our favorite colors.  S helped decorate this one!
