Sorry, couldn't help it. My sweet girl turned 6 on Friday. SIX. My mom came down to hang out with us over the weekend and celebrate, and we recounted the story of my little one's birth. It was fun to hear it from Mom's perspective.
I made a cake and somewhere around 100 mini cupcakes (Fed cake to about 60 people!). Yikes. I learned a lot, too--I made a fantastic marshmallow fondant, care of Pinterest, and made Shaun the Sheep, again, thanks to a design on Pinterest. So much fun! And people, my chocolate birthday cake is seriously the best you will EVER have. EVER.
A couple of baby sheep on their be-flowered field.
The Internet came through yet again and I found this seriously fun puffball sheep idea, and just altered it to my own purposes. We ended up doing a craft with our Bible Study friends on Friday night, then again with our "mini-birthday party" on Saturday. I was giggling like nobody's business as I was making the samples because they were just too ridiculously cute. Lu told the kids at school she had a flock of sheep at home. They all assumed she was kidding.
And I figured out a new BRILLIANT trick, if I do say so. Need to flash-freeze something but need to freeze something on top? I give you... Megablocks!!
It was a busy but great weekend, and I LOVED doing this theme. I think I'm done with sheep for awhile now, though!
Happy birthday, sweetheart!

This is all so super adorable! I need to learn how to use a pastry bag to put icing on cupcakes because it looks so whimsical. I want to know how to make those sheep that were hanging from the sign! They will come in handy for our own baby shower.
