The sign says it all!  Lily Grace had her 5th birthday party yesterday.  This year, she requested a cooking party.  We had soo much fun!  Guest arrived, washed up, put on their aprons and got their hands dirty.  

First up...pizza!  Everyone got their own 6" pizza pan, rolled out their own dough and added their own toppings.  

Next up... birthday cake!  That's right, Lily Grace requested that everyone make their own birthday cake since this was a birthday party.  Each guest received their own cake, icing and loads of different decorating sprinkles and toppers.  There was icing and sprinkles everywhere.  It was sweet fun!!  Once everyone finished icing and decorating their cakes, we placed them in their very own bakery boxes to be enjoyed at  home.  

Official birthday cake followed along with gifts and a pinata outside.  This is actually one of my favorite parts of the party.  I love watching all the kids just run around in the backyard without a care in the world, just playing, laughing and having fun together. 

I can't believe that in one short week Lily Grace will officially be five years old.  As we tell her, she will always be our baby no matter how big she gets! 

Thanks so much to everyone for coming yesterday and making the day so special.  We had the best time!  Thanks also to my friends for helping me out in the kitchen!  We are so blessed!
