So, I decided we still had to do something fun on Elle's actual birthday, since we are having a party for her on the 14th, when grandma and two of her aunties will be here! Ell woke up this morning and said, "It's my birthday!!" Do you think we have told her that a few times?!? Still, it was really cute! My good friend Amy, brought up her kids (with a few of the neighbor kids) that Elle knows and plays with on occasion! The closest one to her age is seven years older, but beggars can't be choosers...and they are really good to Elle! So we went to the park in our little town and let the kids play for a while. Then we had some pizza, opened presents, then had cake and ice cream! After that, we walked across the street to the pool and continued to play for a few hours!! Elle seemed like she was on top of the world and totally enjoyed "her" day!
This was the turtle cake that I made for Elle's birthday!! I looked online for ideas and combined a couple to make her cake!! It was fun to do and I think it turned out pretty cute (if I do say so myself)!! Stay tuned for Elle's 2nd Birthday Part II - I am making a princess castle cake for that party!! Wish me luck!
