Our day started with a knock on the door..."good morning, today is my birthday and I,m 5!" That was 7am:)
So, I got up and Faith & I made pancakes for everyone to eat:) After that, it was on to the tradition of making the cake! This year, Faith wanted a princess castle. Albertson's sells an awesome one, however, it was small and $40!!!!!!!!! So, I took on the challenge in effort to save money and have more to eat!!
A lot of baking and stacking and toothpicks!
It was a lot of labor I must say!! The cake was Funfetti with lemon filling and buttercream icing!
It turned out ok-it tasted great-and Faith loved it!
We had promised Faith a Build a Bear experience and today was the day:) So, off to the mall we went--to the Build A Bear Shop! Both girls got to choose what they wanted to build:)
After they selected the animal, they chose the sound piece for inside it. Then came the stuffing! They stuffed it to thier liking:)
Then, they pick the heart and rub it around and put it inside the animal. Finally, the lady sewed the animals closed:)
Then, they gave them a bath (pretend of course)
After they were made, we registered them and created the birth certificates! Faith created a brown rabbit-girl-named Sugar. Dalaina created a white bear-girl-covered with rainbows. And named her Rainbow (very original)
And of course they bought some clothes for them!!
They were very happy with their new stuffed animals :)
After the bear shop, we headed for a free balloon and then some cinnabon for lunch!!
And, that was how we spent July 3rd-Faith's 5th birthday!
