Happy Birthday Ainsley and Andrew!

Isn't it amazing how time flies. I seem to have blinked and now we have a 5 year old and 2 year old. This year the theme was horses and footballs. Yes, two very opposite and uncoordinated themes but we made it work. Football and unicorn balloons. Football and horse cakes.

Here's our birthday girl. We've been talking about the horse party for over three months. Needless to say, that was plenty of time to find a horse dress. Ainsley saw a horse cake pan one day at Hobby Lobby and requested that particular cake. I had two months to prep myself for making cakes this year and what a joy it was! We had so much fun just enjoying her. We even had a birthday breakfast, cinnamon rolls, her favorite.

And then, there's our little man. He was so excited for his football party. He was greeted with football balloons and a football cake. He hasn't figured out yet that he went from one to two years old. But he did know how to say party and presents before the party weekend was through. He has asked for cake at every meal since with a candle to blow out. I think I have sung happy birthday at least as many times as their combined ages.
