Leiden's Family Birthday Celebration

Leiden has given a lot of thought to her birthday this year, and quite a while ago she requested a 'naked' cake!  But not a chocolate with light frosting naked, no.  A yellow with chocolate frosting naked!  So it doesn't look quite like the stunning cakes you see in the wedding magazines or on Pinterest, but it is exactly what she wanted!  Today I worked hard to get it ready for her party with our family.


She was very pleased with the results.  She has always been a cake supporter in the cake vs. frosting war, so this is right up her alley.


She helped put the candles in.


And now we're ready to light!


Of course then there were presents!


A cute little FinFun mermaid tail for her American Girl Doll, just like the other girls got at their birthdays.


Shopkins made an appearance, much to Grandmere's chagrin.


Last but not least, she got a FinFun blanket tail, like the other two girls as well!  What fun gifts!


We are a little early, but I can't believe she's going to be 11 years old.  Time flies by so quickly.
