The Birthday Girl


My little girl isn't so little anymore. This last Tuesday, May 5th, we celebrated Ciara's 5th birthday. I can't believe she's already 5 years old. This year for her birthday she requested a unicorn cake, a pink unicorn cake. Since funds are a little low I couldn't purchase a cake so I had to get creative with the cake making. I've posted some pictures below of my creation, against my better judgement mind you, along with pictures of the birthday girl and her "loot"


putting the pieces together, it took 2 round cakes and 1 square to construct this


the finished product, the birthday girl approved

All the loot


Dalin got a little present too but he wasn't so sure about the goggles

Opening presents
We had a lot of fun at the party. We are still in UT so I think it was fun for Zane's family to be able to celebrate with us. Ciara is excited that we get to have another party in MT with Grandma Julie and my family. We opened presents and played outside till it was dark and then came in for cake and ice cream. We didn't even get through the entire birthday song before Ciara blew out the candles. And, of course, the day ended in true birthday style with a birthday melt down because our little girl was over tired (it was 11:00 at this point) and wanted to stay up and play with all her new things.
