Ashlyn's Birthday Party

For Ashlyn's party this year, I decided that I would have an actual birthday party with kids. We decided to have it at a children's play place by our house. It is a pizza/arcade/play area place. It is great for toddlers. There is lots and lots for them to do. We invited 5 kids, and we were very happy that they could all make it. The party was a huge success! All of the kids just had a blast. The kids arrived at 11:00 a.m. The kids played for a bit, and then it was time for pizza. They all seemed to enjoy it. While we had them all wrangled, we did the cake. Ashlyn was too cute when everyone sang Happy Birthday. She became very shy, but she had the biggest smile on her face. She did a great job blowing out the candle again. She then got to open her presents. She got lots of great gifts. She got lots of Ariel stuff. She has been having a great time playing with all of her new toys. After presents, everyone went and played some more. The party lasted about an hour and a half. All of the guests seemed to have a great time. I know Ashlyn had a blast. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better birthday party for her. Everything went just perfectly. We are already thinking of having it there again next year.

This is the cake that my sister and I made for Ashlyn. We were very pleased with the way it turned out.

A quick picture before we left for the party.
