Happy Birthday Katie! Part 2

After returning from Disneyland it was Katie's birthday. I did not plan a big party this year because of our trip so the plan was for a small party at home and to invite Grandma, Papa and Uncle. There were still streamers, balloons and helium from last years party so I brought those out and decorated. Katie really liked the balloons.


Katie had a small pile of gifts and one large one that she was really interested in.


When she finally got to unwrap it, she was thrilled that it was a kitchen from Grandma and Papa. (Mama and Grandma had frantically put it together while she took her nap)


I got her a pink fluffy dress up skirt which she really likes and would never take off if I would let her.


Next came the cake. Katie had debated between pink inside, brown on the outside and pink sprinkles or brown inside pink outside with pink sprinkles. Finally option two won. I consulted with the Food Librarian and went with the Devil's Food Cake from Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours and a  butter cream frosting dyed pink.





She was very happy with her cake.




After the cake it was back to her kitchen
