the setup
the big gift (thanks to Christy and her in-laws shipping it to me!!)
the birthday play date: McDonalds for lunch, playing with the new gifts for hours
the cake: Afton was creating these over the cake cake dreams (a rainbow cake with rainbow frosting and ice cream cones on top) so i asked if i could surprise her with a cake. she loved it but i twisted my knee chasing the kids in the yard before it was assembled so a bit of my vision turned mushy with the pain. i wanted to make her a pinkalicious/purplicious (we adore these books) cake. so a dozen eggs, 4 cups of cake flour and 3 hours later i realized a cake mix or simple cupcakes would have been just as great. it did taste good!

She's adorable and I can't believe she's 5! I didn't know she was an Aprils Fools baby - how fun :)
I can remember holding her at 2-3 days old. It has been a fun 5 years. NO foolin here!!
