So once again it has taken me a couple of weeks to post. Bristol turned 5 on November 10th. I can not believe how fast she has grown. She is full of imagination, loves to learn, draw, dance, and play with her baby sister. We had her birthday party the Saturday after her birthday. She chose several people from school and church. She was so excited for her birthday that she has been planning it for about 7 or 8 months or so now. She was so excited that she couldn't even sleep that morning and woke up early. I hope she enjoyed everything and am glad that all the birthdays are over for the next little bit. Now I just have Christmas left and then I can relax and breath a little.
She wanted a Cinderella cake again. I made one when she was two as well, but it was her birthday so I made what she wanted. This time I made a marshmallow fondant. It was pretty tasty and fun to make. I was tempted to use her Cinderella barbie doll for the top instead of the doll the pan comes with, but her barbie is pretty loved and has crazy matted hair now. So, I opted for the more tamed doll.
I was so lucky that the weather was actually really nice. I was hoping to have her party at the YMCA indoor play area, but it was already booked. I was not looking forward to having all of these five year olds in my house for a few hours. I had one game planned, but I wasn't sure what else I was going to do. Luckily since it was nice out we played some old fashioned games like red light green light, simon says, and duck duck goose.
Present time
The thing about the Cinderella cake is how to put the candles in.
Thought I would throw in a picture of Gwyn at the party to show you how big she is getting.

It looks like everyone had a wonderful time. I wish I could have been there for this one too! It's terrific how many times and generations the doll cake pan has been used - definitely worth the money I spent on the pan! The cake looks great and so do the rest of you. Gwyn looks a LOT like you at the same age in this picture. Your hair was darker, but it is the same little face. All three of your girls are beautiful. Looks to me like you and Nate make beautiful girls just like Dad and I.
