Alaina's Birthday Part 2

The day before Alaina's birthday she wanted to bring cupcakes to church. We made rainbow cupcakes. They turned out fantastic!!

When we were making the cupcakes, Alaina and I decided that she wouldn't have a cake on her birthday, we would just decorate the cupcakes and put candles in them. On her birthday she remembered she wasn't getting a cake and started balling. So, we made her a chocolate cake. I didn't want cupcakes and a cake sitting around the house so we made cake pops out of the cupcakes. To do this you crumble the cupcakes, mix them with frosting, roll them in balls, stick a sucker stick in them, freeze them and then dip them in chocolate. We then stuck them in her cake.

Here is Alaina crumbling the cupcakes.

Isn't it pretty!

Then we made the best fluffy frosting ever!

Here we were getting ready to dip them. If you look closely, you can see that Alaina is drawing a picture of them.

She got a sock puppet kit from Uncle Josh, Aunt Laura, Kylee and Lexi (Thank you!!) and made a unicorn sock puppet while waiting for the cupcakes to freeze. Although you can tell that she was sneaking food by the food stuck on her face.





Cake time!






After we ate cake and went outside to play for a while, we came back in and put together the puzzle that Grandpa Don and Grandma Jan sent. Alaina is also wearing the shirt that Aunt Kathi and Linda sent.

Happy 5th Birthday Alaina!
