We had an AWESOME time for C's birthday! I stayed up late the night before and decorated the cake; she LOVED the cake - being the 'princess' that she is :-)
She chose to have waffles for her birthday dinner, so i made a HUGE batch, and tossed the extras in the freezer for this next week. I managed to get away with only burning one waffle (during gift opening - C just COULDN'T wait!!)
D and A had helped me decorate the dining area - they did an incredible job, and it was MUCH faster than when i do it all on my own!
'course we had the requisite wrestling match between the siblings (always an entertaining time - D had to pry the little ones apart ;-)
A helped to entertain while i was finishing up the waffles by doing a little ring around the Rosy.
Then we FINALLY got to the gifts: new PJs, Glow in the dark bracelets, a new dress-up tutu for dancing, and a Baby-Alive potty training doll. (You can tell what WE'RE going to be doing soon!)
The doll came complete with baby food, spoon and bowl, bottle, potty, diapers, wipes, and is completely interactive - the kids were all just captivated (even D and A!), 'course they immediately had to feed it a bottle, and then it had an 'accident' - necessitating changing the baby. I even managed to find an old baby blanket of C's, and showed her how to 'bundle' the baby up. I can tell already it'll be a much-loved toy; i might have to start stocking batteries now! :-)

Wow! That cake is amazing. Can I have one for my birthday?
I hope your kids have a great time with the doll. I have outlawed anything at our house that 'wets,' Rachael still has far too many accidents for me to clean up after a doll, too.
Great job on the cake!!!
