It's true. She's a whopping Five-Year Old. She got to celebrate at preschool, at home with the family, and then a few days later with church friends.



{sidenote: this cake was something I've been dying to make after seeing pictures several months ago. It was my biggest cake project to date, and I loved spending a lot of time making it. I'm glad I took pictures, though, because the beauty was short-lived. The morning after this picture, my good husband accidentally knocked the cake from the counter to the carpet turning it into a pile of cake rubble. It was actually kind of hilarious!}

I asked for a 'surprised' look...

Her Daddy called from work to wish her a Happy Birthday.

Her birthday just happened to fall on Pajama Day at preschool. Perfect timing.
Audrey is a bright light of a girl. Here's what she had to say on her birthday:
Mom: Why are you excited to be 5?
A: Because then I'm growing and I'm big.
Mom: What is your favorite color?
A: Blue
Mom: What is a favorite song you like to sing?
A: That is kind of a complicated one. I don't know. "Feed My Lambs" from Primary.
Mom: What do you like to play with?
A: My puppies and ponies.
Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: One, a teacher. Two, a Mom.
Mom: What do you want to learn while you're 5?
A: About the gospel.

That is one fabulous cake!
Happy Birthday Audrey but are you sure you are 5? I was thinking maybe more like 3 would be better.....love your huge colorful layer cake, bet it tasted good too!
Wow to having a 5-year-old daughter, and to that colorful cake tower. I am impressed. What a beauty and a spunky girl. I still remember when Audrey was born and Tessa couldn't get enough of her.
why am i just now seeing this post?! the CAKE?!?!?! way to go auntie! happy belated to audrey. :) she is looking more like you it seems like. lucky girl. :) (oh, and when you commented about the pictures on my food blog, i felt guilty! i took some from websites and such. the very PLAIN a ones are mine.) take care!
She is such a cute girl - I always love reading your interviews with her, because she gives such great, random answers.
That cake is amazing! I just showed it to Elizabeth, and she now wants that kind on her birthday instead of a barbie dress cake. Help! I have no idea how to creat that.
p.s. so funny that Jeremy knocked it over! you are good to laugh about it. I would probably have cried and then laughed.
