Pink Icing

I have so thoroughly enjoyed having two rough and tumble boys that my pleasure in mothering a girl has surprised me a bit, I think. A year ago, our newborn baby ushered in a a whole new world of ribbons and dresses, baby dolls and purses, drama and sweetness. Sometimes I wonder how we ever existed without it.

I never really liked pink growing up myself...but it was absolutely delightful to put those drops of pink food coloring in the icing making cupcakes for my one-year-old daughter's birthday!
