I know I've been slacking on the posts lately but it's all because of my phone. For some reason, the pictures I take have stopped synching with my computer, so it's a pain in the butt to transfer them to the laptop so I can then crop and resize. It used to do all that for me before. So I have been lazy, and here I am just now getting around to posting Allison's birthday pictures.
This year we did a Tinker Bell birthday party and since it was her 5th birthday (the big one!) we wanted to invite her teacher and her friends from school. I wanted it to be special and fun for Allison, so I spent weeks beforehand making the decorations and planning the menu - or at least the desserts. So get ready for lots of pictures of my creations. It was also garden-themed from the giant paper flowers to the pixie dust cupcakes.
Here is my child, not even waiting for all the guests to arrive before getting into the cookies.
There was plenty for the kids to do. Of course they wanted to play with everything in Allison's room, but I also set out crayons and Tinker Bell coloring pages for the artsy ones. It warms my heart that these kids love music and they're so loving toward one another. Allison is a big hugger - something that will never get old.
Allison enjoyed having her friends over to play and celebrate her birthday. She has been to a lot of birthday parties lately, so she was excited that it was her turn to open presents. She was so ready to blow out the candle and tear into her lemon pixie dust cupcake.
I can't believe my little girl is so grown up. Time goes by way too fast.
