Strawberry Shortcake Party

The weekend was full of fun, food, family, and presents! We all had a great time celebrating Brylie's 4th birthday. Because our house isn't big enough to fit both families at the same time, we had two parties. On Saturday night my family joined us for the fun and on Sunday Robb's family came to celebrate. We were partied out! Here are some of the moments captured on film. Brylie was waiting patiently for her cake to get done baking. :) I had a lot of "help" from Hunter and Brylie with the cake. It was a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting and we added some sprinkles and candy hearts just in case there wasn't enough sugar in there already. :) "Is it time for the party yet?" Yum...the food! We served sub sandwiches, veggies, chips and baked beans. I like to keep it simple. Here's Gage enjoying the party blowers. As you can see he wasn't able to keep his shirt clean for long! Brylie got so many fun, girly things! She scored some beautiful outfits from Gymboree, some fun craft items, jewelry, hair accessories, and some shopping money. Little girls are so fun! This is always a favorite part for the kids. Brylie smiled like this through the whole song! Can't you tell these boys are really into the Strawberry Shortcake theme!! These are my nephews Kyle, Alec and Brandon. All that partying made us tired!

Once again I just got transported back about 18 years. Lindsey was big into strawberry shortcake :) We always did the two parties. The pictures look just like our family photos from years ago. What a fun time for Brylie! How did you get the older boy cousin to put that silly hat on? ha! Your babe's photo was adorable, by the way.

What a great celebration! I love the mystical look they get in their eyes when everyone sings happy birthday to them. If only we all kept that feeling as we aged!

I am impressed with the cake! I am always too scared to make the cake so Hy-vee does it for me! What a fun time! Girls are so much fun! I love making a big deal out of the birthdays. We do a theme party every year for the kids. I believe in doing it special for them because that is one of the only days set aside in the year to celebrate just them! How fun!

I love that mile-wide grin on her face as you're serenading her with the "Happy Birthday" song.

The cake looks delicious, by the way.
