Okay up first...Little Miss Lexie had a birthday in December and had been requesting a Little Mermaid Birthday since about March (she likes to plan ahead) I was a little unsure of how to have a Little Mermaid party in December, and as it turned out she ended up not having a "friend" party, and I found it somewhat difficult to find ANY Little Mermaid decor in December...but she got her mermaid cake, so she was pleased!
Lexie's actual birthday happened to fall on the same day we had our Family Christmas party, so the lucky lady ended up with another birthday cake! This one a little more holiday themed...oh how we love these birthdays so close to holidays...
Fast forward to February when my friend and I made a Wedding Cake...yes that's right we made a Wedding Cake! It was so much fun--alot of time, and definately alot of work---a few mishaps along the way-but the end result...pretty fantastic if I do say so myself!
check out the inspiration cake here and then check out out cake below...didn't we do good??
Next thing we knew, it was March and St. Paddy's day! Now you know that is a popular holiday around here...and we had alot of fun! Sneaky Leprechauns turned all the water in our house green..we celebrated with lots of green food, and Lexie got her ears pierced! What does ear piercing have to do with St. Patricks Day you may wonder? I don't have a good answer..sparkles and shine, and granting the wish of my little one I guess!
After St. Paddy's it was time for another birthday at our house...My not so little guy requested a Mario Cake...
Brenten had lots of fun celebrating this year...we brought treats to his class at school, he invited a friend to go see Diary of the Wimpy Kid in the theatre, and he was spoiled rotten with a new skateboard, new clothes, a new Wii game, new Basketball and the clothes to go with it and thanks to my sis the lovely Captain Underpants books as well as totally gross cd!
And now we are at April...my kids couldn't wait to pull some pranks on April Fools, we decided it would be fun to have "Dessert for Dinner" and "Dinner for Dessert" They loved their "cupcakes" and "sushi"
Our "foolish" cupcakes...Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes on top
Our "sushi" = Fruit roll ups, Rice Crispy treats, Gummy worms!
As you can see even though I haven't been posting, we are alive and well and hoping for sunshine! I do have some more pictures to put on my computer to catch up the rest of our adventures, but for now...this has been a pretty long post so I'm signing off!
Thanks for stopping by!!
