Happy 5th Birthday

Last weekend, we celebrated Avery turning 5 with a Barbie themed bounce house birthday party.  The highlight of the party, so I like to think, was the Barbie doll cake I made for the special day.   Avery picked the cake out from multiple candidates on Pinterest and I put my unreliable baking skills to the test.  Thank goodness for the Betty Crocker video tutorial or I never would have pulled it off!  Avery had a great day celebrating with friends and family, and she didn't just like her cake, she loved it.  As for me, next year, I'll leave the cake baking to the professionals!

Santa brought everyone something special this year, but I think Greg and Avery were on the extra nice list as Greg got help constructing a new workbench and Avery got the American Girl Doll she'd been asking for.   After a relaxing New Year's cabin trip with friends, we're now getting ready for a certain someone's 5th birthday celebration.   We'll be back soon with photos of the social event of 2014!
