Bella picked Beverly Hills Chihuahua (sp?) which I wouldn't recommend to a single human being but the kids still laughed and enjoyed it or at least they loved pretending to shoot the dogs on the tv. Boys will be boys I suppose.
The next morning we started off with the gifts from her cousins which delighted her. Earrings, rings, lip gloss, and fingernail polish. She was in girly heaven and this smile was the one that stayed on her face for the bulk of the day.
Posing with Bethanee she shows off her loot. Purple the new pink making it her new favorite color, well relatively new anyway. I don't know if they knew but it worked out quite well.
We opened other presents that came in the mail, thanks Aunt Lacey, and look at the new and improved packing peanuts. They are like puzzle pieces and the kids spent the next twenty minutes piecing them together in different ways. 
Bella and I headed to Wal-Mart to let her pick her gift from Travis and I, this is a tradition that we will no longer do with her but that is another story for another day. Anyway we opened the last of the presents she had gotten from friends and family so she wouldn't pick any duplicates. Tinkerbell underwear being her first pick for a present.
She asked for a rainbow or star cake. I considered myself lucky that I didn't have to do a tinkerbell one. But procrastinated the project all day due to the easy nature and so in the end had a mediocre cake but she was thrilled. I think she just loves lots of colored frosting. 
Blowing out the candles is always a favorite tradition because she truly believes her wish's fate is sealed. I love that kind of hopeful innocence. And then we pigged out. It was a great day. Later that night I put the boys in bed and had a little one on one time with her to end the day. Man she's great.
Tomorrow I need only bake twenty some odd cupcakes to take into her class. I am going baking bonkers. Don't get me wrong I love to bake, but these past few weeks have been a new record. And honestly my hips are further proof of all the baked goods coming in and out of our house. You gotta taste it all, right?

I think the cake looks great! I admire that you even made one. I would probably resort to just buying one that wouldn't even taste as good. I love Bella's taste in underwear. Tinkerbell is awesome!
