Sydni's 5th birthday party was a blast! The kids literally bounced in that house for all 4-5 hours that we had rented it!
There were minimal injuries (Kayli sprained an ankle and Tori twisted her knee in the last hour) but at least none of our guests were hurt. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the parents enjoyed how exhausted everyone was by the end! It was the best spent $100 for a party!
The weekend before the party it rained day and night for 2 days and was about 30! The week after the party it did the same. However, on the Saturday of Sydni's party it was the warmest we've seen so far this year (80s)! Praise God for such an enjoyable break in the winter weather!

Then it was finally time for the cake! Of course, Sydni requested another Barbie cake. Who wouldn't? After all, she does get an extra Barbie out of the deal because she knows that mom won't buy the kind with half of a body to stick in the top, but instead I always bury a new Barbie (naked and wrapped in cellophane) into a dome-shaped cake made by a Pyrex bowl or two! My girls always love getting a new extra Barbie (I stock up when they go on clearance for $5) and I love that the cake still costs less than buying one in the store and tastes just as good!

The blowing out of the candle by the birthday girl; hence the hands over Naomi's mouth, to prevent unauthorized blowing!
It's so hard at age 2 to realize that every cake you see does not belong to you!
