Hercules' 1st Birthday!!

Hercules' 1st Birthday! It's not easy finding cost-effective pupcake ingredients living down in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Niko's been spoiled with simple things like peanut butter but since a small jar of peanut butter costs close to $7 USD, we will just have to improvise with new ingredients. This time we used Banana & Honey frosted with Basil cream cheese & Dulce de Leche. 

Birthday party at the office this morning for Hercules with Raimundo & Niko. Dingo, West and Pacho didn't show up to work.
