I think you can see how excited she was. I think she was singing the birthday song for a couple months before her big day. Besides Uncle Sam, Azurdey also shares her birthday with her cousin, Sydnee. Sydnee turned 6.
In trying to come up with ideas for her birthday cake we pulled a bunch of random pictures of birthday cakes off the web. She saw one with the Littlest Petshop toys on it and was hooked. She was thrilled with the idea of having a cake that had toys, too! This was only my 3rd time working with fondant, but I think I am hooked also. It is really fun to work with and it creates so many new options and possibilities for cake decorating. Karlee would come in every few minutes while I was decorating it to give her notorious 'sweet!' comment and Azurdey would follow her lead with a few 'sweet's herself. It was quite cute.
Gerry was still feeling a little under the weather and so I drove to Star Valley from Logan and he held the cake on his lap the whole way. I was happy the only damage it received was getting a little dried out from the AC blowing on it.
My aunt Debra and her husband Ron were kind enough to let us crash their place for a party. They were very helpful and we sure appreciated their hospitality.
We had quite a bunch for the party. Besides having the party with Sydnee, we also had Greg and his family, Deb and Ron, Mark, Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, and Vicki and her kids. Vicky and Warren joined us a little later for cake.
With all the people there, it was like Christmas for Azurdey and Sydnee.
Azudey got some Littlest Petshop stuff to go with her cake, a birthday Ariel baby, a Furreal bear, a Scooby, a new outfit and charm for her bracelet, a love dollar, a sticky snake, and a pirate ship book. She had so much fun opening her presents.
We tried to light the candles outside but it was just a little too windy so we had to move back inside.

It was such a special treat to have so much family there to celebrate with us. Thank you all!
