Sunday cake

Twelve is a big birthday so we're celebrating as much as we can!  We had birthday cake at Avery's party but wanted to have one to share and sing with family Sunday night so here's birthday cake number two!  The design is dill weed blossoms, inspired from a cake on Pinterest. Simple and cute.




I hope my kids remember these times.  All the noise of all the family gathered around to celebrate them.  These are the people that will always be there to love, support, and cheer them on!

party time

 

Avery really wanted a birthday party this year (it wasn't an option last year with Covid) so last Saturday we threw her one!  She wanted lots of school friends, plus we had Lexie Weber and Natalie, and of course Zara and Beatrix!  I whipped up a cake for her which is messy and so much fun, just like Avery! ;)


We started off playing the monster drawing game, ate pizza and snacks, and answered fun questions to get to know each other better.



Beatrix was in heaven at this girls party.  Don't be fooled, she was not interested in pizza, only Doritos.

We had to get some group photos with everyone under the balloon garland.  This is our first attempt of a balloon garland and it's not terrible.  Zara and Avery helped and we learned as did it.  Blue and teal are her favorite colors.



The party was pizza and movie night.  We let the girls choose the movie; either Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan, or Yes Day (a new family movie with Jennifer Garner).  We went for Yes Day but wished we went the other since a few of the girls had seen it already and weren't that interested. It was still a good time.





After the movie we sang to Avery and shared some cake, everyone had some! Then Avery opened her presents and gave one big group hug.  So many fun and thoughtful gifts!  What a fun group of girls.  So glad Avery got to have the party she wanted and felt special.
