Brinley Turns 5!

 Brinley had a fabulous 5th birthday. She was really bummed that she couldn't have another party like last year but I promised her it would still be very special. She wanted lots of barbies for her birthday and that is what she got. Barbie dolls, Barbie movies, Barbie coloring books etc. Savannah never liked Barbies so it has been fun to watch how she plays with them. We were working some of the day on the Red house....painting so I was really pressed for time on the cake. I wanted to do a Barbie cake but I didn't really know what I was doing. I was seriously down to the last minute frosting it before everyone came for cake and ice cream. It was a little crooked but I think it turned out pretty good considering I was really winging it. I ended up needing more cake mixes that I realized. The only thing I didn't figure out is how to cut it without it tipping over!

The Barbie's body was inside a pink plastic tube so it didn't get ruined....kind of cool.
