Allison's Birthday

So we finally had Allison's birthday party. Only 2 weeks after her birthday. The weekend after her birthday she was sick so we postponed it one week. She was so excited when it finally came. We played musical butterflys, where I copied butterflys off the net and put them in a circle around the family room. We only got through a couple of rounds when one of her friends asked if we could do something else. We made a box castle outside and had races across the lawn. They twirled, tip toed, and leaped to the finish line. We had princess cake that I decorated and opened presents. Each girl went home with a pair of plastic butterfly dress up shoes and a butterfly headband. All in all, a very good time had by all. After everyone went home it was time for a nap. Michael and I both woke up refreshed and relieved that the kids had not destroyed the house.

I made and decorated this princess cake. Tina Brown looked over my shoulder to make sure I did a good job. She was a big help.

Allison had a great time! She was so excited, (for a looooooong time,) to have her party.
