Aubrey's Birthday Party

Ta-Da! Here is Aubrey's Toy Story 2 birthday cake. Lisa looked at a picture of Andy's headboard on the internet, drew it, and cut it out with an exacto knife. I am so thankful she is so talented, with out her, I would have had nothing but a big blue rectangle.


It was so hard to find a good angle. The pictures don't do it justice. The lamp, table, and rug were made out of fondant. The table and lamp didn't look exactly like that when I made them, but because I waited until the day before, they didn't really have time to dry.


Right after I put the cake together I started clearing out a shelf in the fridge so I would have somewhere to put it. I turned away for what felt like 30 seconds and Aubrey shoved the straw legs right through my little bed side table. I was not so happy. The table already had enough issues.


I know, how many pictures can you take of one cake.


So, opening presents is always a fiasco with so many other kids. I told them to scoot back a million times. I was so squished, I sweat for probably the second time in my life, and again physical activity played no part in that.


If you look closely you can see she is holding a toy cell phone. Payson and Macy gave it to her, and after she opened it, it was almost impossible to get her to open anything else. I would give her a new present but she just kept saying "Open Peese, Open Peese". Finally her Grandpa Lo granted her wishes.


We told her over and over, "blow out the candles, Aubrey, blow, hoooo" She just kinda kept looking at us and sticking her fingers in her mouth. Finally she gave the most pathetic blow. It was pretty cute, but it wouldn't have even moved a feather. Thank goodness for Spencer and Graycie, we could have been there for a long time.


See, there's the fingers in the mouth. She does that when she gets shy.


Diggin' in. Not to toot my own horn, but holy cow, that cake was good. I talked about it all day Sunday!


Is she cute or what?!
