Cadence's Birthday Party

On Saturday, Cadence had a birthday party with some of her friends. We invited some people to Waco to go to the Mayborn Children's Museum. This is where we celebrated her 2nd birthday but fortunately, she has no recollection of that. Even if she did, I'm sure she wouldn't mind going a dozen more times. So, we all met at the Children's Museum and the kids had soooo much fun. It's a very hands on museum. They can touch everything! We had so much fun! After 3 and half hours of museum, we went back to mom and dad's apartment and the kids swam. Can you imagine? In October? But it is warm enough. Then we had hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill with potato salad, deviled eggs, chips, cheesy puffs, soda and of course, cake and ice cream. The kids had a great time and it was a real joy trying to keep them away from the pool after they had all eaten!
Cadence received some wonderful presents. She got 3 new outfits for her dress up Dora doll (and we still have two in reserve for Christmas-they were on clearance at Walmart), a book called The Princess and the Kiss, Curious George the Movie, a Little Mermaid pen, a bottle of Mermaidia bubble bath, a book called Goodnight Emily, a body poof, a purple crown, purple tutu and flower that she wears like wings, Dora Chutes and Ladders, and Bubbles. I think I remembered everything. She really had a great time! It was such a happy birthday! The day after her real birthday, she got shots.... owwww. Poor girl! She did pretty well and 3 Bugs Bunny bandaids, two sugar-free suckers and and icecream cone later...oh, and a healthy dose of Tylenol, she's good as new. Here are some of the great pictures we got.
Below is the cake I decorated. Cadence kept changing her mind on the kind of cake she wanted. First it was chocolate with blue frosting then white with pink frosting so this one is confetti cake with all kinds of different colors. I thought it turned out ok for an amatuer.
