Five!!

Tomorrow my girl turns five! I can hardly believe it. I remember when my first child hit five- how significant it felt.  It still feels significant with her but the sting is off a bit with number two.  I want to slow the pace of the days so that I can soak them up even more.  We celebrated tonight with my family. My sister has a birthday a few days after hers so we celebrated them together tonight. This cake I made was from a pan set I bought at a garage sale for $1.50. I think it was money well spent as we all got a kick out of this edible princess.  We spent the last two days re-doing her room for her big birthday. I will post some photos later of all the fun things we did. It was a little money and a lot of elbow grease.  We are pretty wiped out!  Here is a little preview for the next post.

Happy Birthday!!!
The cake is fantastic, I didn't even realise it was a cake until I started reading. I know someone who would probably sell me to get this. ;)

Happy Birthday! The cake is awesome and I know my girls would go ga-ga if I made them a cake like that :o)

The preview is tantalizing! And that cake - oh how my daughter would just die for it! Five does seem so old, doesn't it? She is six and a half now and is with her grandparents in Disneyland for five days (!) the longest she has been away. They grow up fast.

oh wow I love your cake! I did a dolly vardon with cinderella barbie on my blog for my daughters birthday but was not lucky enough to pick up the pans at a garage sale! love it!
I also love all your furniture...we inherited some awful brown chairs from my mother in law and I'm going to show hubby your blog to inspire him to do a bit of work on them as the white is just gorgeous!!!!
