Reese walked in, and her mouth dropped.
Then the kids all lined up to go see and ride the horses.
The birthday girl got to wear the only pink helmet -- this was a big deal.
The kids all met "Snowflake" a 29-year-old very nice pony.
And we met the barn cat named "Annoying." Ha!
Each of the kids got to ride Snowflake around the indoor arena. Of course the birthday girl got to go first.
Time to brush Snowflake.
And we turned Snowflake into an alicorn!!!
Back to the main building to ride the carousel. This place was incredible!
The kids were starving after all that excitement.
I always have to capture a picture when these three are together -- all born on Sept 8th of the same year!
Cake time!
And finally, presents.
So clearly Tracy (our neighbor cake should-be professional) did not make this cake. Since I wasn't hosting at our house and not doing as many decorations, I decided I could tackle the cake. While I was making it, Reese told me that she didn't really like it.. When I told her that I was sorry it wasn't as good as Tracy's cakes, but I was doing the best I could, she quickly changed her tune and told me, "It's fantastic." And, although I borrowed my friend Ashly's cake making supplies, I found the entire process stressful. Tracy can have her cake making duties back for all future parties. One positive was I made the cake using a new product I'm working on -- Green Giant Veggie Blend-Ins. The cake was made with spinach puree instead of oil. It was delicious, moist, and the (and adults) had NO idea. Find the recipe on veggieblendins.com and buy the product on Amazon.com.
A few decorations...
