Angel’s first fifth birthday

I can’t believe our “baby” is FIVE!  Well, almost.  She will be five on Saturday.  And she WAS the “baby” for more than four years.  And if we had not had Scooter I am sure I would be coming undone over this birthday!!

My camera is not what it used to be, so the photos were painfully blurry.  But I think the smiles come through loud and clear.

Evaluating her Rapunzel cake.  Thankfully my kids are very forgiving…  They know my limits in buttercream.  Winking smile

As always, our family is too generous and Angel and her doll/”daughter” Jenny will be very well dressed this summer!  [Matching Dolly & me clothes.]

Can you tell from the smiles they had orange pop and/or pulled pork for dinner?

 

Scooter slept through the first half of the party and was EXTREMELY surprised to see a house full of people when she woke up!  Oh my.  She is too cute I think!! ♥

These boys weren’t quite able to come IN for cake…
mud + the creek + trees = dessert on the porch.

Boy… do I hope spring is really here.  It was so nice to sit on the porch for a while!

 

 

 

 

 

Her “friend” party is Friday night, and her real birthday is Saturday. 

Can you say, “Cake?”
