Princess-Tinkerbell Birthday Party

Katie helping to make pink covered strawberries for the big party. She was interested for all of 1 minute before she started just eating the sprinkles from the jar. Her momma's daughter. Sponge curlers to have pretty-princess hair.
The birthday girl and her castle cake. 3 1/2 hours and this is the result. I used the Wilton cake set. I don't like/don't know how to do fondant so we just used a buttercream icing. It was delicious. Not too stable though. We propped up one side of the plate to keep it from falling over. Katie loved it though, and it sure tasted good!
Levi was so happy to sit with the kids eating cake. When he was done he climbed down and started trying to eat other kids' cake too.
Daddy was telling Katie she needed to wait for one more minute to open presents. We hadn't talked about presents as a part of her birthday and she was so surprised and excited when she figured out they were all for her:)
Cake! It is hard to tell, but Katie picked out pink glitter tulle to cover all the tables!
All 5 of the girl cousins. Katie is the baby of the bunch.
We made necklaces and decorated treasure/jewelry boxes. The kids did great and thanks to some awesome Nana and Grandma help I didn't have too much of a mess to pick up.

I've got some catching up to do.

Miss Independent. Loves to dress herself. I hate these pants. They are her favorites. Notice the cowboy boots. Her footwear of choice.
Daddy got powdered doughnuts and roses for Mommy.
This child is such a little explorer. I am always finding him in/on top of/or stuck.
Where's Levi. I love this stage!
Courtesy smile from Katie. She is quite the colorer/cutter-outer.




Still feeding himself. Still only 2 teeth.

Poor bruised forehead:(

Bye-bye Accord. Hello Odyssey!

Otters at the zoo with friends.

Levi wishing he could get in on the cookie decorating.
I want to make Katie a shirt: "SNITCHER."
Sprinkling is hard work.
Seriously. Seriously, this is the best picture of Katie I got on Valentine's morning.
Levi got a Valentine's cookie-pop.

Colorado breakfast-wear.

















Ha.




This is for all the people who tell me, "Your kids look exactly like Taylor."
