V is 3!

I have had a hard time getting this thing to work the last few days. I wanted to post on Sunday, but it kept locking up on me.

Well, V is officially 3! She is potty trained, sleeping in a big bed, and thinks she is such a big girl now. She won't even let me call her my baby anymore.

Here are some cute pictures from her birthday party on Saturday. We had a great turn out. The kids had a lot of fun.

We decorated princess and prince crowns. They got their costumes; skirts for the girls and knight tunics for the boys. Thankfully these were easy to make. The hand beading on V's costume took some time. I think her dress turned out adorable though. It is all fabric I had laying around. (nice & inexpensive!) Then they played pin the crown on the frog. Only 3 kids wanted to be blindfolded. Then they had cake and ice cream and V opened her presents. Afterwards they all played in the yard in the playhouse and on the slide. They all seemed to have a great time. It went well. V is still begging for another party, so I know she enjoyed it.

That is so fun! Did you make all their costumes? What a great idea.
I love the cake.

I found your blog through my SIL and rother Clark and Maryann. I wanted to say I LOVE your cake. My daughter will be 3 at the end of the month and I think she would flip out for a cake like that. Can you possibly leave me a comment (or respond here) where you got the doll and cake pan and how long it took?

Great blog and adorable daughter.

Thanks for the directions. I will have to improvise. I will attempt it though (because to buy one from the grocery store made is over $45)

Clark is my next younger brother (there are 6 of us kids). Maryann is my SIL.

Thank you again.

Looks like a great party. Happy birthday Victoria! She is looking awfully grown up, but they will always be our babies huh!
