Keala was so excited to have her birthday ALL DAY today! She was excited when she woke up, excited at church, excited after church. It was just an exciting day!
We spent all afternoon decorating her cupcakes and birthday cake. She helped me by putting all the silver (edible) balls on the flowers. Everyone kept asking me if they could eat them!
These cupcakes were so pretty. But without a plan, it takes a lot of time to figure out what you're doing. And a lot of time passed this afternoon trying to figure it all out!
But it was fun to work with different piping tips and see the different designs we could make.
At the last minute Keala wanted me to change the plan from making a princess cake to a mermaid cake. But I was relieved because I really didn't want to work with fondant at the last minute when I didn't know what I was doing and people were already showing up.
We ate a delicious BBQ chicken dinner cooked by Brent, with awesome potato salad from Erika, great fruit from Cindy, yummy soda from Meeja, delicious Foccaccia bread from Jacque, a super veggie tray from Bre, and yummy corn from Mom. Thank you everyone for the great spread!
All the cousins and neighbors played outside while we ate and then sat in anticipation for the present opening! There were lots of ooohs and ahhh! Thanks everyone for the great gifts!
Baby Jane traded lots of hands during the evening. Shes so spoiled... but can you blame us?!
Keala decorated some of her wrapping paper. She was so excited that it was going to wrap real presents! She did such a good job, I was so impressed with her artistic skills!
Keala is one of the most spoiled kids I know! She had such a blast ripping through every gift!
Then Princess Belle came and that was the highlight of the night! All the girls were so excited!
Keala ran and got her doll Belle to show the 'real' Belle that she was a fan! It was so cute!
This was such a fun evening! I think I had just as much fun as Keala did! She told me next year that she wants Belle to come again! She was just elated!
Princess Jane just passed out during all the commotion! There was alot going on!
Keala's best friend, Rachel, reminds me of Eden so much. I just had to take this picture!
So many highlights of the night! Mom and dad got Keala this Barbie dollhouse after she asked for one for a couple of years! Her face just lighted up - and everyone oohed and ahhed for effect!
Time to get ready to go. Snug like a bug in a rug! She's so cute!
We tried on our new swimsuit and had a quick dip in the hot tub before bed. So much fun!
"Mom - take a picture of me in the water!" Isn't she all smiles?!
" Mom - take a picture of me under the water!" ...Its time for me to retire!

Holy Cow! What a day! No wonder you weren't ready to sit and chat when I called. But why didn't you just hand the phone to Jacque? Not that you didn't have enough to think about.
what a fun day!
Dad, I totally thought about that this morning! Ahh! I am so scatterbrained... so sorry!
Nikki, you are not scatterbrained, you're just a mom with kids. Nuff said. Looks like a terrific party.
Nikki! What a blast you did such a great job with the cupcakes and mermaid cake. I will give you a call sometime for a cut, life has been too crazy. see you soon!
