Happy Birthday Amelia!


Today, Saturday Sept. 5th is Amelia's 3rd Birthday party. The 6th is her actual Birthday, but it worked better all around to do it on the Saturday. The kids got up bright and early at 7am to begin the festivities. Amelia enjoyed the decorating David and I had done early in the morning. Amelia also looked forward to the arrival of her aunt and uncle Bryan and Stacy who stopped through on the their way on vacation. On a side note I wish you could hear Amelia say "My aunt and uncle" it is so funny... for some reason her saying some words just crack me up!


I made Amelia's cake. We always get a store bought cake for the first birthday but then last year I invested in some cake decorating supplies and have started trying to make my own. This year I decided to make a double cake (last years was a bit short) I put 2 9x13 pans together with frosting in-between. We won't go into what a challenge it was to flip the two cakes together. Frustration and a few tears occurred on Friday night as I was trying to put it together. Overall I think the princess castle and princess help to make it more festive (both found at thrift stores for a steal!) Amelia picked pink cake (strawberry) and pink frosting.


Celebrating with the guests. She always enjoys seeing her cousins,aunts, uncles, and Grandparents.
