Alright, after presents, we moved on to birthday cake!! Lindsey specifically requested a pink cookie cake. I was really excited to decorate it just right for her, but put it off till too late, and she happened to be around while I had to decorate it. She begged me to let her help, and although I knew it wouldn't be what I wanted, I knew letting her help would make her happier than a 'perfectly' decorated cake. This is what we came up with:
What you are seeing is her cake. A pink flower in each corner. The green she added on each one is a leaf. The orange next to "birthday" is a sun (although as I type this post, I asked her what the orange was, and she said they were caterpillars!). And sprinkles were also courtesy of Lindsey :)
She was THRILLED with her cake.
Waiting for her cake. She gets pretty serious when all attention is focused on her!
Here is Daddy putting it down while we sing Happy Birthday.
Are you ready for this?? The next picture is THE BEST one from her party :) A big THANKS to Aunt Nicole for managing to capture it! So, we were just finishing the Happy Birthday song, Lindsey was at the table with her cake in front of her, and Justin was hanging out with Kyle in the next seat. We sang the last "happy birthday to you." Before Lindsey (or anyone for that matter) could take a breath, Justin jumps up, lunges across the table, and in one blow he blew out all her candles!!
You can see Jared's unsuccessful attempt to block him! It was SO hard to not laugh because we all thought it was so funny, but Lindsey did NOT! I quickly jumped in and told her we'd just do it over. We sang again and relit the candles, but she was less than amused.
Her moment had been ruined by her little brother!
We recruited candle blowing help from Daddy and Uncle Clint.
Luckily, she moved on quickly once we served the ice cream and cake!
Ryann was pleased to be able to participate!
With all the commotion, I suppose no one was keeping a close eye on Justin and he didn't hesitate to help himself.
One out-of-place, belongs-in-the-last-post-about-presents picture--Lindsey and her new umbrella. Now, if we could only get some rain!!

Looking at all the cake portion of Lindsey's pictures I still laugh. What a great time:) Thanks Justin for being you.
Priceless. And I like that Justin could blow the candles out in one blow but the second time around it took two grown men. ;)
