Raine's Birthday

Plans always change and originally I had planned on having a party for Raine's birthday and maybe one or two of her friends sleep over. Since it would have been her first slumber party I wanted to make her a cake I found online. Even though we didn't have a party I still made the cake but figures I forgot to get some of the items needed to make lol. So it turned out a bit goofy looking but she loved it and I improvised. All we did on Wednsday was send doughnut holes to her class and had stuffed pork chops for dinner. Since she got a Disney Junior Monopoly game we decided to just have a family game night. Boy was she happy about that and completely forgot about having a party. Next year I plan on doing something for her birthday or maybe just what we did this year would be fine for her. Here is the goofy looking slumber party cake I made... It didn't look like the pivture but she liked it just the same.

Twinkies are the girls and I had to put green and pink gel hair on them lol. And I didn't realize I needed at least 9 cans of frosting to do the blanket over the twinkie people so the blanket just covered their imaginary feet. As long as she liked it that's all that mattered and she wanted to eat her twinkie self so I had to cut out the middle of the cake. All in all her 9th birthday was great, we had a nice dinner, fun eating the people on the cake and playing monopoly for a few hours. She also went to Chicago with my mom (Mimi) on Saturday so she made out pretty good this year and had a blast. Time goes by so fast and soon she won't want me to make her a cake and do all of the cute little things I've done for her for so many years. I'm going to miss all of it but I have pictures and tons of fun memories. In the mean time I'm going to make every little moment count until I am no longer mommy, very soon I will just be mom. :(
