Birthday Fun Continues...

Darling...Yup, I made these Cake Pops from Bakerella. They were darling, easy and seriously, I heard they were fabulous!

Alayna wanted her cake to be all flowers. We happened to Google a flower cake and found one that was up my skill level and so we copied it. It was easy and really darling.

Once she arrived home from school, we had all the cousins over for a birthday party! Bring on the ice cream cones. Chocolate Cake mixed with chocolate frosting, white chocolate, milk chocolate and a sprinkles.

I wish I could have captured every single kids happy face. These were a HUGE hit!

I just love this picture.

 

 

Cute girl cousins. Alayna couldn't have been happier about celebrating her favorite day with her cousins.

Getting ready to make a wish... (she's wearing sticker earrings...not the real thing yet)

 

Our ward was having a fun mutual activity with the youth. They were sent to different families homes as missionaries. Alayna was thrilled for Tyler to come to our house because he is our faithful home teacher. My kids adore him. (On the right in the bow tie). She thought it was SO great to have them over, celebrate and see all her presents. We of course served her FAVORITE dinner, Cajun Chicken Pasta.

Caleb brought Easter grass to me and said, "Mom, here is all the gross HAIR!" I busted up laughing because he was carrying it like it was something totally gross. I have to admit I have told my kids I really dislike (hate) Easter grass. So I'm not surprised he has taken my same feelings for that gross hair stuff!

Now, this is a picture of a boy who was totally saved by a miracle today...

As Alayna was opening presents, he slipped off the bench, his hands couldn't stop him because he was holding his delicious ice cream cone...you got it, teeth went through his lip. Opening presents stopped...sad Caleb and TONS of blood...or "bleed" as he called it. Oh, it was awful. Thankfully in the moment, between my sisters and I we decided that mouths heal quickly and bleed tons. Which is true. He has a huge whole in his bottom inside lip. The red mark you see is simply the last little layer of skin keeping it from going all the way through. We decided to not take him in for stitches because I know mouths heel quickly. He just might end up not being able to suck his thumb...and have an extra chubby bottom lip. Oh, and it's totally purple on the inside. It looks pretty good. He was a total champ, crying mainly because "bleed" was on his shirt. It wouldn't be a holiday around here with out him cutting some part of his lip/face open! The day was honestly so much fun...I have to admit though, I'm exhausted and SO ready for bed!!!
