Mikele's 5th Birthday!

I finally am posting the pictures from Mikele's birthday including her Barbie cake. I can hardly believe that Mikele is already 5 years old. Boy time flies! For Mikele's birthday we had a party that she could hardly wait She had homemade Macaroni and Cheese for dinner. When I asked her what vegetable she wanted she told me it didn't matter because she was going to eat a vegetable because it was her birthday. We finally opened presents and she loved her Barbie car and doll but her favorite gift came from Grammy Norris, a music box with a ballerina that spins around inside. Finally we had cake and ice cream.

She had her check up and here are her stats:
Weight: 45.4 pounds 90th percentile
Height: 46 inches tall 97th percentile


Jason and I gave Mikele this outfit for her Birthday. All she wanted as far as cloths were things that matched my close. We all have to wear the same color every day at our house.


The music box! Her expression says it all.

The barbie cake. I had been given two different cooking times for this cake. I baked it the day before so I could freeze it (it is easier to decorate that way). It had been in the oven for over an hour and was not even close to being done. We had to leave for Jason's company party and so I called my neighbor to come check it in a half hour to see if it was done. The center totally collapsed but fortunately you turn the cake over and don't see the center. Overall I think it turned out all right. Mikele loved it! It didn't have the greatest texture (Brock informed me over and over that it didn't taste that good) but it looked good and that is what counts.

Mikele got a surprise the next day when a package from Uncle Denny arrived. She loves her beautiful doll. Thank you Uncle Denny!

I had to add this picture because it is so funny. Kassie was all about opening presents. Mikele was trying on one of her new outfits so Kassie tried on Mikele's new shirt from Grammy. It looked more like a dress on Kassie but she was excited to get in on the action. She is ready for Christmas and if anyone needs help unwrapping their gifts just let her know.
