Samantha is 6!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Samantha!! What a great day - it was so wonderful outside. With 8 children at the party I was quite happy for the great weather. We played outside and rode Stormy. Some of the kids said they had never ridden a pony before, it was an exciting afternoon. Especially for Samantha!! The day started at 6:30am - she was begging to go finish the cake, had balloons hung outside before 7am!!! She managed patience and was most excited when Austin arrived!! They are in love you know!! And to get married if they both have their way!!! It is quite a cute dynamic that's for sure - although I am in no way prepared for any of it!!
I was of course exhausted by the end of the afternoon, but it was worth it for the smile stuck on her face all day! The cake was a hit and wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be - I of course followed a recipe but did modify it to meet my needs. I fear I have started something that it going to be harder and harder to do every year. We have done horse cakes and butterfly cakes and even a cake that was a pool. I'm going to have to find some more resources for ideas - Kraft Canada website has become...... well we did that one, and that one too...
It is fun for all three of us because we work together on it and it's a special cake because they did it!! A great weekend and what a wonderful 6 year old!!
