i had visions of making a chocolate cake while i was in early labor, but seeing as how my early labor fairly quickly moved into active labor, i did not have time for this. and who wants to bake while having contractions? anyway, i found this recipe (i've been really into her website for baking lately) and tried it out a few weeks prior. i talked to riley about having a little birth-day party for sonja and she was beside herself with excitement.
so last saturday morning her and i baked the cake then my friend claire, who was visiting that afternoon, made the frosting and raspberry filling with riley.
that evening, along with the oranens, we had a little celebration. we sang happy birthday and enjoyed some cake. as you can see below, riley was extremely excited. she really has taken to this whole big sister thing quite well.
and the chocolate cake? it was delicious.
