We found a bakery in Carmel to pick up some special cupcakes for Akemi's big day.
Keira said the chocolate one was for the birthday girl.
After a fun day at the aquarium we drove to the coast and found a good "cupcake picnic spot" on the beach. It was actually quite warm considering it was the end of December. We all had a blast running around and playing in the sand.
Can you tell we're getting excited for some sugar?!
How old is Akemi? ONE!
Akemi's first bite...
She finished the whole thing! (also note Keira devouring her cupcake)
Happy 1st Birthday Akemi! We love you!
