I cannot even believe our little guy is one year old already! Where did the time go? He is such a little man now...moving around more steadily each day and talking more and more. Since his favorite song right now is Old MacDonald, and he can say several of the animal noises, we thought it would be fun to throw a Barnyard Birthday for his first birthday celebration. We had him dressed in overalls, of course, and when it came time for cake, we kept the overalls on, but removed his shirt...partly for practical reasons, but partly for farm authenticity.
But enough about the cake, it's the cookies we care about...

I saw this design somewhere on the internet, and I cannot find the source. I designed the barns, but really, the rest of this platter was someone else's creation, and I cannot find it. Who are you, oh fabulous cookie artist? In any case, at first, it seemed daunting to create so many different animals, but then, since the backgrounds were all white and filled, the actual decorating didn't end up being as scary as I had thought.
Not to play favorites, but I especially love the cows. You know when you look at a familiar word for awhile and the spelling starts to look all wrong? Well, when I was decorating the cows, (and maybe this is a result of inhaling too much powdered sugar or being up way too late decorating), but they started to look like they had toupees or fancy hair-dos. Can you see it? No? Ok, forget it.
What an amazing first year it's been...Happy Birthday, little guy!
