celebrating with food...

We awoke to the news we had been eagerly awaiting through the night from our sweet friends...

They are the proud parents of a sweet baby girl with the most adorable name - Dorothy June!


We are beyond happy for them and cannot wait to meet her - and of course the bug enjoys utilizing any opportunity she can to celebrate with what she calls  Happy Party Cake.


It being early in the morning I decided that she would probably be just as thrilled with happy party pancakes - sneaky mama!


If you like clouds and fluff this pancake is not for you... It is dense and wonderful and everything we needed to celebrate the day.
