Happy birthday Morrow!
On Sunday, our little Morrow turned TWO!
We celebrated with our family of SIX(!!!) and our friend Wendy Maybury, who just happens to be a professional photographer and just happened to bring her awesome camera and her love for our kids along.
Morrow is in love with all sports that involve a ball. His favorite at this juncture is basketball. So I attempted basketball cupcakes!
Feel free to submit these to Cake Wrecks if you feel you must. I don’t have the steadiest hand, if you couldn’t tell! I went back and forth between thinking that some of them looked cute and thinking that they looked like spiderwebs. You decide.
Regardless, this was how Morrow felt about them:
And this is how Morrow looked when he was eating one:
Pure enjoyment! I’m no Martha Stewart when it comes to how my cupcakes look, but I’ll take that smile over perfect cupcakes any day!
For the occasion, Cadence wore her first dress! Morrow is in love with the twins. He loves to hold them, give them kisses, throw their dirty diapers in the garbage, and get clean diapers out of the diaper basket.
Orison and Morrow shared some sparkling grape juice for the special day. I love how this picture turned out. It looks like stock photography or something (except for the fact that it looks like our 5-year-old is drinking wine).
I can’t believe it’s been two years since Morrow came into our lives! In some ways it feels like yesterday, and in some ways it feels like we’ve always had him in our family. He brings such laughter into our lives every day.
Happy birthday, Johnner. We love you so very much!
Awww, Happy Birthday! I would sing a lilting rendition of the Birthday Song, but then all the dogs would start howling… ;-)
Happy Birthday, Morrow! What a great party!!
Happy birthday, Morrow! How exciting to celebrate as a family of six!
Those cupcakes are adorable, but his face of pure delight – that wins any day :)
Behold children are a gift from the Lord!!
btw, I think the cupcakes looked great :)
I think the cupcakes looked just fine. Don’t forget that cakewrecks is for professional disasters; they have grace for amateurs.
Happy Birthday, Morrow!
Sorry, I posted as my wife… oops.
I like the basketballs! You should’ve seen my cake for Will last year…I’d been watching lots of Cake Boss & so I wanted to make this awesome looking cake, but…not so much. I had the same thought about Cake Wrecks. :) But the kids don’t care! It’s just so much fun to celebrate with them, isn’t it?!
That smile. It is beautiful. Even with icing on the nose.
Happy birthday, Morrow.
(And Cadence in her dress with her tiny little newborn legs sticking out? Oh. My.)
Happy birthday Morrow!! You are one handsome fellow.
At least you didn’t do this with the cake:

Word to the wise, always hold the cake with BOTH hands! =)
Happy birthday, Morrow! Molly, I am so sorry I have been remiss at sending a congrats on the twins (and your heroic delivery) birth, but please know that I have been praying for your family.
I made a cookie cake for Ben’s 2nd, and the border was a little Wrecky, but I also did not get paid to do it and saved $18 from what ANdy wanted me to spend on a Mrs Fields. I love to bake-I think I can handle a cookie in a big pan. Your cupcakes turned out just fine!
I’m impressed with the cupcakes- especially since you just had twins!! Happy Birthday Morrow! Also Elias loves balls too- I might have to copy something like that for his birthday.
i remember that plate! no one EVER remembers to use the one I made. so sad.
Those cupcakes are ADORABLE!! And so is that 2 year old!!!
Oh, how I love pics of kids eating cupcakes!
And all the others you posted, too.
Blessings to your family !
You just want to squeeze him. What an adorable child.
that kid is too adorable! and i love that yall call him Johnner.
Happy Birthday, Morrow! I can’t believe it’s been two years already!
Makes me want a cupcake!! They look good enough to eat, as my husband says!
I commend you for attempting homemade cupcakes so soon after having two babies! They are too cute!
Precious family! And I was looking at this while holding my 17 month old, Joy, and she immediately pointed at the cupcakes and said “Ball!! Touch!” so good job :) They are adorable!
