How could I forget??

Lucy turned 5 at the end of July. It was a fun time. She likes to draw out her birthday celebration as long as possible, so we had a few days of cake, balloons, and fun.

The 'Princess Castle Cake' I attempted. It was 3 am...give me a break!

Lucy's new bike! She was so excited to get this bike - with no training wheels. Now we just need some practice...Lucy and her cake. Ok, the moment that I brought out the cake was probably in the top 5 best moments of my entire life. Lucy and I had been looking at cakes online for the entire month leading up to her birthday. No cake was good enough. She seriously wanted a $3000 wedding style cake for her birthday party. I don't think so. We never agreed on a cake, and I was a little worried that she'd be really disappointed. Not that I have to give my kids everything they want so I don't upset them...they are not spoiled like that...but I did want to make her something that she liked. After all, it is her birthday. So, I made this one (without her knowledge) and when I walked outside with it, Lucy literally squealed in delight and said it was 'the most perfect thing ever'. I DID IT! I actually pleased the most picky girl this world has ever seen!The girls hanging out, drying off, and playing with new toys. What fun!

Happy 5th Birthday, Lucy! We love you, Princess!
