I whipped up this illustration with my fam as the muse. My kiddo, all about pinks and princesses, had this cute dream of a chill party with her besties and the fam. And then there's my little guy – a real force of nature – who's all about grubbin' and refusing to wait his turn. I pictured him going all drama for that first taste of cake. Just a bunch of good vibes and family fun!
