R IS FOUR!!

Mixing up the cake. Tried a new recipe this time as she wanted a PINK cake!! It started out pink but baked up light brown but she said it was ok. I made a simple white cake recipe out of my Mennonite cook book and added the juice from a quart of blackberries from my wonderful mother in law :) into the batter! The blackberries I layered on the bottom of the cake pan and then put the batter on top! Super good! The cupcakes were AMAZING and we are totally doing that again!! 

There were 3 birthdays in our home church that week so we made extra cupcakes and brought them to church. HB stands for HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :) 

Our little four year old Princess :) wearing a poncho Grandma F made her!! 

The cake. I love decorating R's cake. It's so easy! Her birthday is right when all the Easter stuff comes out in the stores so there is tons of stuff to choose from the decorate it with. She picked these chocolates and the sparkler in the shape of a 4 but she didn't really like the sparkler.. it was a bit well... sparkly for her! She had a wonderful birthday!! 

A Day With Friends! Better Late Then Never.. :)

We are really enjoying getting to know them and we've finally taken some pictures of the crew together!! Jen is also the wonderful lady that took Baby G's baby pictures!
