Happy 5th Birthday Elena Pearl!!

Elena has had a wonderful last couple of days celebrating her birthday.  Yesterday we ate yummy crepes for Elena's birthday breakfast and then she opened her presents from her Grandpa and Grandma Cederstrom and Jenn.  Grandpa and Grandma gave her some money so she went and picked out a Fur-Real penguin.  She absolutely loves it!

Today had our traditional Sunday dinner at Grandmas house and then ate cake and ices cream with the cousins.

 For almost a year now Elena has been planning her Wiener Dog Birthday cake, well today it finally came to life.  She is a little cartoonish, but I think she turned out pretty cute.

 I asked Elena if she wanted to have a party with her cousins or with her friends and she said she wanted to have a party with her cousins.

 Elena got a "Brave" doll, some fun coloring things, hair bows, and  her own MP3 player.  She is super excited!

 Nothing like a black tongue from fondant to make a birthday party that much better!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELENA PEARL!

2012 Cederstrom Halloween Party

Halloween Season has officially begun!  Our pumpkins are in the yard, we have a brand new scarecrow built, and we attended the 2012 Annual Cederstrom Halloween Party in Utah this weekend!  There is no better way to kick off the week before Halloween than this Halloween event. Now although, it is 12:50 AM and I need to be in bed, I know Jenn will check out the blog, and she HAS to have some Halloween Party Pics to show everyone.  So here are a few snapshots of the festivities.

A Party is not a party without the GRUB!

Adventures in cake land

I had a cake request, so you all get to see some of the fun things I have been doing with my "cake business" lately.  (It's not really a business if you don't make money, but....)

This Barbie Cake was for Ella Jeaner's 7th birthday.  It was lots of fun to make!

This fish cake has become one of people's favorites I've ever made because it is so odd.  It was for someone's dad's 70th birthday party.  It was crazy big, but pretty fun to make.

This wedding cake was for my niece.  It was such an awesome day, and I was so glad to share it with her.

Now this cake madness is from a Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser I did this last Saturday.  All ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY CUPCAKES were a huge hit, and I managed to maintain my sanity so things are good! (By the way to more fully get the picture, what you are seeing is the inside of my van.  We had to take ALL the seats out in order to fit all of it in!  CRAZY!!!)

Hey look everybody!  I have fancy pants!  I am starting to try and go potty this week.  Big girls go potty!  I haven't done a lot yet, but I will soon.  Got my Pull-Ups so "I'm a big girl now!"
