I got around to posting pictures sooner than I thought! Enjoy!
The cup cakes rising to a nice rounded top
Frosting the cup cakes with cream cheese frosting (let me know if you want the recipe, it's very simple)
Frosting the cake (which was made out of the same batter as the cup cakes)
Spooning the frosting into a plastic bag to decorate the cake
Now for the fun of decorating :)

Hi!
Happy late birthday Johanna! I wanted to tell you something funny Alvin said this morning. He and I were looking at pictures on the computer, and there was a picture of when we went shooting together. Alvin said: "Daddy, Amy, da?" "That's Johanna, Alvin." "Hojanna?" I thought that was really funny. He calls me Babby!
Dear Ashley,
I'm glad you enoyed reading Jo's birthday post!
Yes, it seems like the two different fabrics on her dress are very common.
We also love enchiladas! Actually, we love anything Mexican. Tacos, fajitas, guacamole, etc. Yum, yum!
Thanks for commenting!

Dear Abby,
Thanks for sharing that funny thing Alvin said! I’ve been called all sorts of “nicknames” by little children. -- Like, Joh-AN-a, Jo, HAN-na, Johannah, Hannah, and now Hojanna!!! How cute. ;-)
Babby is a funny nickname too. Sounds like something Alvin would call you!
We think of y’all a lot.
Blessings,
Johanna
P.S. I am so sorry it took me SO long to reply. We were having some internet problems.
