I decided I'd try my hand at making her a Mickey Mouse birthday cake. It turned out GREAT! (By amateur terms)
And, more importantly, Alexis LOVED it! After making it, I held it up to hide my mouth and said in a squeaky Mickey Mouse voice, "Happy Birthday, Alexis!" Boy, was that a hit! She told everyone about it. Little did I know the effect that simple act would have! When she told Natalie, Natalie was amazed and totally believed ut, asking questions like "How can a cake talk by itself?" and making comments that the cake must be magic! Alexis kept her going for 5-10 minutes when she finally looked at Natalie and said, "You do know it was Mom talking for the cake, right?" Natalie's face was priceless, because she obviously had believed the cake had talked by itself, but tried to recover by saying, "Oh, yeah, ummm, I knew that!" I was rolling!I made her favorite dinner, mac and cheese and broccoli, for dinner and Uncle Charley and Aunt Kelsey came up. Alexis got to open a few gifts and then we had the cake. Overall, it was a great day! So far, Alexis's favorite gift was the Zooble from Aunt Lynelle, who lives in Maryland. Sunday, we're having her bowling party with friends! She's excited for that too... although I was just asked if she was going to turn 5 on her party. Explainations are all part of a parents' life! So fun!
Enjoy the pictures!

Natalie got her a Tinker Bell coloring/sticker book. Can you tell she loved it?
Aunt Lynelle sent her a Zooble. This picture doesn't do how excited she was about it justice since her sister kept pestering her to take a picture with it.
