Birthday party

This is Natalie's birthday cake. Isn't it beautiful? I thought so. :)




This is Natalie's birthday cake 4 hours before her party.



I tried moving it from the table to the counter, and the cake slid off the board right onto the floor. I was devastated. I called Jared, who happened to be out with the boys running errands, just sobbing. He couldn't even understand what I was saying, and thought something was wrong with Natalie. It was very sad.

This is Natalie's birthday outfit. She liked twirling in her skirt. She didn't really want her picture taken though. I'm quite lucky that she was semi smiling in this picture.



Well, being the great mom that I am, I spent the remaining 4 hours before her party, making another birthday cake. Luckily I had most of the extra ingredients on hand, and Jared ran to the store with Natalie for some more frosting. She was trying so hard to blow out those 2 candles. :)



This is one of the gifts she recieved. She loves her Dora purse and earrings.

It was a fun party, and the kids had a blast.

A-dora-ble! haha, I snuck dora into my comment about her birthday. If Natalie could read, I'm certain she would get a kick out of it and absolutely love her aunt sarah (that is, if she even remembers who I am). Instead, you will have to enjoy my creativity.
SO SAD about the cake! I am very impressed that you whipped up another one, though! Props!
Outfit... cute, cute, cute! Love the skirt!
Hope she had a fabulous birthday, sorry we miss everything fun! :( It saddens me..

That is too bad about the cake.... But at least it was a memorable birthday. And I'm sure she had a blast. (And her outfit is so floppin' adorable. Loved it.)
