This whole birthday planning was back and forth, back and forth... what day would be best? How many to invite? How to make the cake? The weather forecast kept me on the edge of my seat. First it was cloudy but nice, then it was rainy, and back again to partly sunny.... argh!! Ended up being so windy we had to move the whole location from in front of the river and under the fall trees, to the garage. I was disappointed, but it still came out very cute. With the possibility of having to move to the garage, I knew I had to keep it small, or we would not all fit... and because of schedule conflicts, only the Nymans were able to make it, besides our family, of course. It ended up being small, yet cozy. :)
At first, we were just going to make a flat cake and try to get a front view of Thomas decorated on it, but then, we decided to go for a 3-D look... it was so fun doing this together with Mom! :)
It was a WINDY day!! Natalia was so excited before the party, while we were setting up, she just kept twirling and singing to herself! So cute!
First, the girls got to decorate some gourds with cotton balls, feathers, googly eyes, and lots and lots of glue!! :)
We then headed out to the pumpkin patch!
Just about to enjoy some chili and cornbread! :)
Let's blow out some candles!
And open some presents....
Sporting their engineer hats...
No problem hitting that piñata!!
Left-over goodie bags went to some kids at heart... :)
The morning after felt like Christmas, wanting to get the present open so they could play... and they were entertained all day . . . and then some!
Happy birthday, my sweet Natalia!! Growing up so fast! We love you!
Cute pictures - look like you all had fun!
