Katie's Birthday

Katie wanted a dog cake for her birthday this year.  We looked at pictures of cakes online. 

She wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

We made and decorated the cake together.

This is the style she chose.  This is the first time I've done a character cake where you have to cut the pieces and shape the cake by gluing (with frosting) the pieces together.  

It turned out great!

Katie loved it!

So cute!

We made it the day before, so into the fridge till party time.

We had a lot of fun!

Katie got a ceramic horse paint set from our friend Kimber.  Here she is painting them. 

She loves to paint!

Here's the party.  She had a girl party with cousins and friends.  

More painting.  They are painting picture frames.

Present time.  Here are a few of her favorites.  Digi birds: they sing, both alone and together.  They are pretty cool.

Love the nail polish!  She loves painting her nails (more painting, loves painting of any type).

She also loves La La Loopsy dolls.

Picture with two of her cousins Nikki and Ellie.  The movie is from Grandpa Tony and Grandma Laverne.: 10 princess movies in one.

She also got cookies and a card from grandpa and grandma.

Pinata time!  Found an Easter egg shaped one at Walmart.  Filled with candy and small puzzles of Frozen.

Whew!  That was a rough swing! Lol!

Nikki's Turn.

And here's Ellie.

Mommy took a turn too.

After a while we left the blindfold off of everyone and started lowering the pinata up and down.  

As you can see, Katie and Ellie had a blast moving the pinata around for the swingers.

Happy Birthday to Katie!
