My Big Girl...

On May 28th my baby turned 3 and is now my "Big" girl. If you call her your baby she will correct you and tell you that she's a big girl too! 
 
 For her cake this year, I did a castle. It turned out really cute if I do say so myself. Audrey was really excited about the cake and for weeks before her birthday would tell everyone that she was getting a castle cake. She even now will talk about her castle cake anytime anyone mentions anything about birthday cake. She's just too cute.
To decorate it, I used gum drops and jelly rolls that I rolled out thin then used a cookie cutter to cut out. The centers of the flowers are fruit flavored tootsie rolls. Audrey really did LOVE her cake and was very proud of it. 
The Birthday Girl!
 Blowin' out her candle...
Nathan and Audrey with Grandma Jan and Grandma Alice. I love this picture of them.
I made her this tutu...she's still not sure if she likes it. She's worn it a total of I think 10 minutes since she got it. Oh well, I tried.  :)  I think it turned out cute. And Audrey picked out the purple. It's her favorite color. 
Audrey got a big girl bike for her birthday and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it. She even got a little bell. I love to hear her ring it. I know she's one happy girl!!

 Sure do love this little girl. We are so glad that she's a part of our family. It would not be complete without her in it.
