Just as Little Bit has brought many "firsts" to our lives, she's also the first of the Poff Clan to experience such an extended birthday celebration. Yet, a dear friend reminded me that that's actually a treat!
We started celebrating last Wednesday afternoon with a trip to the zoo. Little Bit was completely enamored by God's creation. There were endless "awws" and "oohs" falling from her lips. She simply thought each animal was amazing. 
I also started the laborious process of making a fondant for her caterpillar birthday cake.
Boo and Little Bit were more than happy to clean out the bowl for me! (Think marshmallow and powdered sugar...can't imagine why they would like that. :)
Inspired by a picture I found on a baking blog and after about 6 hours of work, I managed to create this adorable caterpillar cake. Since I would never call myself creative, it was so gratifying to actually have done this. Isn't he just too cute??
I was truly jumping up and down saying, "I did it! I did it!" when I finished this cake!
But, after a taste test, she quickly approved.
The Littles enjoyed the tasty fondant caterpillar feet.
So, Friday found us celebrating with Little Bit's delicious caterpillar cake.
The End. :)
