Princess party

I'm finally posting pictures of Avery's birthday party. As you all know Avery is in LOVE with princesses, especially Cinderella, aka "rella" It wasn't hard to figure out what theme to choose for her party.

As soon as Avery was out of the tub and put into her tutu she got to open her gifts from mom and dad. As soon as she saw them she couldn't help but run to them.

We got Avery a Rella set complete with the fairy godmother and carriage.

We also got her a new stroller for her babies. Dad accidentally stepped on her other stroller and broke it. So we just had to get her another one :)

I decided to make Avery a castle cake for her party. It took me forever looking at other castle cakes and coming up with my own. I choose things I liked from some of the cakes I saw and made one of my own. I used flat ice cream cones to build up the towers. Frosting those suckers took FOREVER! I was up til 1:30 in the morning finishing this baby. Let's just say it was hard for me to cut up my master piece.

This was the first time I had ever used fondant. I used purple to make some of the flowers, windows and the doors. I also used yellow fondant for the other flowers. I then piped green vines around the castle to add the perfect touch.
Happy Birthday who who, happy birthday who who, happy birthday dear Avery, happy birthday who who!! This is the way Avery sings the birthday song and so this is the way we sang it to her.
Opening gifts. After Avery opened skittles chapstick from aunt Kristy and uncle Ty Ty, she wasn't interested in opening any more gifts. It took some coaching to get her to open the rest of her gifts. This girl LOVES chapstick and did not want to put them down for anything.
Grandma got her an encyclopedia of princesses
Nana and Nano got her a princess piano and a princess hair kit complete with blow dryer, hair straightener and curling iron.
Happy Birthday Avery Kay!! I can't believe you are 2!
