Happy 4th Birthday Brielle!!!!

My baby girl is 4 years old!!! Brielle celebrated her 4th birthday with a Fancy Nancy theme birthday party with 8 of her friends. The Fancy Nancy books are favorites of hers. It was the perfect theme for the party. All of the girls and moms came dressed fancy (like Nancy). They were so darling.
I made a fondant cake (with the help of Susie-friend and neighbor). I wanted it to be fancy and we loved how it turned out. Fondant is actually really easy to work with. It's just like playing with playdough!



I read the original Fancy Nancy story to the kids and talked about what is plain and what is fancy.

We took plain bags and made them fancy!

Fancy girls!

Presents!



Frenchy! Brielle's eyes lit up when she opened this. :)

Make A Wish

A group of us walked in the first annual Make A Wish Walk-A-Thon on Sunday. It was a fabulous day, lots of sunshine, yummy food and good friends. Our team was Team Blake. We walked 5K to help raise funds for this great organization. It was good to honor Blake by giving back to something that blessed our life. It was also bitter sweet remembering Blake's Wish trip to Maui.
Hurray! We made it!!
