But as usual, there's no such thing as a small party in our family! We ended up having a big gang over anyway, and it turned out perfect. I think we had over 20 people with all the cousins and kiddos...but I think that's easier to get thru than a party for 40. The whole shabang was over in an hour and half and we had pizza (thanks to Nick!) and cake and ice cream...and lots of fun too. We had kids running thru the house, kicking balls outside and swinging on the swingset...all free and unplanned entertainment which worked out well!
I asked Rowan what kind of birthday cake she wanted this year and she didn't bat an eye with an answer..."I want Barbie Mommy!" So I decided I would make her one of those Wilton Barbie Cakes. But time slipped away as usual and with the switching of the party to a weeknight, there was no way this working momma could whip out a cake. So I zipped in to one of our local grocery stores and they actually had a similar Barbie bridal cake. I asked them to change the white to purple and leave off the veil...and voila...a barbie cake made by someone else in 24 hours and it even came in a fabulous barbie box. I think the only thing I would have changed was the flavor I chose...banana sounded good, tasted so so and looked gross! But the kids didn't care. They were all so excited about the cake and even kept opening the frig to admire it before cake time. Rowan was sooooo pumped! Here's a pic of the cake I took with my phone...
