Happy Birthday, Punkin'...

we love you a ton!!!

tonight we celebrated your birthday with a small get together with family. your requests were simple. you wanted burger king for dinner, a fruit pizza for dessert, root beer floats and a blue sweatsuit.

the fruit pizza was having issues with the heat. it was 96 degrees here today. ugh! even at 7pm it was hot and the poor air conditioner was getting a workout...

with your ice cream party coming up, i decided to give an idea a try on tonight's guests. i trimmed ice cream cones with vanilla frosting and rolled them in sprinkles and put them in the freezer for a couple hours.

daddy made some changes to a cupcake holder so that i could display them and it turned out cute. daddy's super handy!

add some ice cream and we had some happy guests.

i'd been wanting to make pennants and i finally got it done while you went to the beach with sissy, bub, nolan and jake. sissy surprised you and drove all night from utah to come for your birthday! thanks sissy!!! tomorrow you get to go shopping with grandma and auntie kern. lucky girl! what a great day!!! looking forward to your ice cream party on tuesday!
