Ivy's Birthday Party

We had a birthday party for Ivy yesterday evening.  It was hard on Noelle to wait that long.  She wanted to skip right over dinner and get to business! 

Here's our party decor:

A star banner (don't worry the book I cut up already had a few chapters fall out).

We have a cake problem.  We love sprinkle cake, but the frosting isn't the most luxurious looking.

Noelle colored a birthday sign for Ivy.  I love seeing how her coloring is developing.  She's doing a great job coloring things.  She drew something at the bottom but I forgot to ask her what it was.

Ivy dug into the cake more than Noelle did on her birthday.  She still didn't eat much but had fun with the frosting.  Ta-DA!

This is tasty!

I love birthdays!

She's loved all her presents (and Noelle thanks you too, she has had fun playing too).

This book was a hit at library time.  I feel like half the kids wanted to look at this cute pig book instead of listen to what the librarian was reading (I brought it for Ivy to play with).

Also it there's finally a little color around town as the cacti are blooming.  A tiny cactus in our front yard had beautiful purple blossoms.  The only downside to cacti blossoms is they only last a day or two and then they are gone.
