Birthday Girls

This post is well over a month overdue... better late than never I suppose! Since Sonya and Akela have January birthdays just 3 days apart (and 3 years) we have been having combined birthday parties! That way mommy doesn't feel even more frazzled just 2 weeks after Christmas week. This year the girls wanted a simple favorite colors theme! Blue and purple it was!
There aren't as many pictures here as I would love to share, but I don't have permission to post photos that include Akela's friends. Actually, make that one friend who was able to make it. We have been keeping it low key with the amount of friends who are invited. Kid parties get crazy and we also like to have our family there! Unfortunately our house is not big enough to contain that much fun! I think Akela will be having her own kid party next year separate from the family party like we did for Zoe.
Here are my party girls!
Akela is just so sweet, she loved posing for photos!

Zoe got busy making pretty cards!


Akela was so excited over the decorations! She remembered the one's I made for Zoe's birthday and requested the same for Sonya and her!


Present time! A cowgirl hat which she lovingly wore sideways! She loves it!!!


Zhu Zhu Pets socks and Polly Pockets!!!


Aww! Sonya loves her purple pony!!!


A Cinderella doll!!! She's sooo pretty!!!


Akela's favorite angel food cake with strawberry whip and fresh strawberries!!!

I love this picture! Akela is 6 years old and loving life!

Oh man, it's my birthday... better pout!

Nah! I'm very happy to be 3 and I want to savor this yummy double fudge chocolate cake with cherry icing!!!

Another one of my favorites! Taylor and Simon thought Sonya's light up Tinkerbell wings were very cool!

It's the angle of this picture that's making Sonya look huge! Simon and Sonya played so nicely together!

Look Sonya's little again! I love this picture of them all playing!

Taylor thought our cat Lucy was hilarious!

What a great time we all had!

That Tinkerbell costume is so cute! I'm glad Simon could make it. Was Evelyn there? Love those cakes! I am just getting into cookie decorating - did 2 doz large hearts for Valentines Day. We had a small cookie decorating party and they turned out great. So much fun!!! I love your cakes! Akela's sounds very healthy and Sonya's sounds delicious!
