Party Time!

We had Alex's birthday party today! I've been working on stuff for it all week and my parents came down last night so they could lend a helping hand this morning. Josh's parents also came down early today to help too! We have the best parents!

My poor little sickie did great! She napped until the first few guest arrived and took a few minutes to warm up, but one she did, she was perfect. There were only and handful of kids, but it was a perfect amount! We had burgers, dogs, cake and ice cream! I realized I didn't get a good picture of Alex in her dress, but it was sooo cute! It had a little brown bunny on the bottom.

The cake!




Holding on to make sure the cake didn't get away!
Digging in!
I think she liked the cake!
We had so much fun, but it was exhausting! After everyone left, we all crashed and took a 2 hour nap!

So sweet! The decorations are awesome! I hate that she is sick
:0( You will have to dress her up in her dress again and get some pics!
Wish we could have been there.

For the white icing, I used the basic Wilton butter cream recipe. The stripes, dots and bunny were made using marshmallow fondant. The recipes are on wilton.com.
