Week 23 is all about a certain two-year-old’s birthday.For her birthday, we had a little family party.  It’s always a party with The Grandparents.Kate requested pink cupcakes with pink frosting, just like Pinkalicious (also known as The Book Dan and I Hide Because We’re Tired of Reading It).  I used this vanilla cupcake and this swiss meringue buttercream frosting recipe from Martha Stewart.  You all must try these cupcakes and frosting.  That buttercream is my new go-to buttercream recipe.  It’s not the least bit tangy and it doesn’t leave a weird aftertaste.  Just smooth and fluffy and totally worth all those sticks of butter.What?  All that butter?  Yes.  Everyone deserves this buttercream every once in a while.Don’t you love that butterfly princess outfit?  She loves to wear that outfit while playing with her new basketball hoop.Oh, and my parents?  She calls them by their first names:  Papa Mike and Susie.  It’s a riot.  Especially when she says “Suuuuuusieeeeee.”I also took her for the local pool for the first time.  No fear, this child.  Right into the water.  I was that mom as she kicked and screamed her way out out the door because she wanted to STAY AT POOOOOOOOOL.So I told her we could call Susie.  Tantrum dissolved.  Thank you, Suuuusieee.
