Its a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

Five years ago today we were welcoming a tiny baby into our family. For four and half of those years I enjoyed her still being my baby. Over the last six months it has been all to obvious that she has been busy turning into a big girl. She is no longer hesitant to run right in the middle of a pack of bigger kids in our court. She nolonger sits on the sidelines waiting to jump in. She dives right on in head first. She is still learning how to deal with a bully though. grrrr

For four long years she loved blue. We had to search for blue everything. Do you know how hard it is to find blue girly shoes? Not navy blue either. That would have been too easy. A light blue close to periwinkle purple was her fav. Now it is pink. Pink everything. The icing on the five year old cake was the sudden interest in dresses. Zoinks! My baby wants dresses and not overalls.
Recently she decided that she wants tons of new dresses for when she starts school this fall and she wants to go shopping for them.

Last Friday, she had her party at a local bouncey place and we all had tons of fun. Tonight she has requested that we go out to eat and get chicken shwarma. I think I can handle that.

For now I must go and make a cake with pink layers and pink icing. *sigh*
