Today is my birthday! My friend Whitney and I have been wanting to make these hairbow frames forever so we thought today would be a great day. Abby and Allie, girls from our small group, decided to join us too! We had so much fun! Abby was the one who gave us the inspiration so it was nice to have an "expert" present. I'm not sure it would have gone as smoothly without her.
. . Craft #3 Hairbow frames
Abby and Whitney 
Allie's all finished and looking cute! 
Laying the ribbons out, I was a little bit of a perfectionist
Hot glueing the ribbons on 
Kayla and Lydi doing their own craft. Whitney bought candy necklaces to make.
Whaala! The finished product! And an example of what the bows look like on the ribbon. These make great present for anyone who is having a girl and they are super easy to make! 
Whitney's all finished. She has 2 little girls
After Whitney's, we came home and the girls insisted on decorating and making a cake. I was going to save money and get a cake when Harley got back but Lydi (my little baker) said we needed cake! It didn't take much to convince me, I gave in!
She really did make most of this cake. She loves doing this kind of stuff. I did help out with the frosting after I saw her put the knife in her mouth several times to lick the frosting. She's my little sweet tooth. I was afraid there wouldn't be enough frosting left for the cake.
Not bad, it turned out pretty good! 
Pizza and wine!
Mandie, the backyard neighbor and friend surprised us just in time to take a picture of "us girls" and bring me a birthday cake from Cold Stone. Wow! Mandie and I have been friends for several years and recently they just bought a house behind us. It's been wonderful reconnecting with her and her husband and baby girl! Now she is expecting a boy in June. We are so excited for them and just love that they are now our new neighbors! Not to mention that Jed, her husband, and Harely are two peas in a pod. Right before this picture, Malia stuck her hands in the cake and they are covered with frosting. That little stinker!
This would be Lydi taking the pictures
Thank you again Mandie! Your thoughtfulness made my night! And this cake was delicious!
We ended the evening with a little dancing in the kitchen. The girls and I went to bed exhausted!
