Princess F turns 5.

What a Birthday!

The Princess had a Birthday that lasted 5 days.

She is after all a BIG 5.

I was amazed at the work her mom put into her Birthday Party!

She made a banner that was about 25 feet in length total, made from scrapbook paper cut into triangles and stapled together and hung from a tree.

She strung a 25 foot balloon line [balloons strung on fishing line] high above the patio in colors that matched the "Strawberry Shortcake" theme.

It was fun watching them pop throughout the party from the sun or birds or whatever. A "Rice Crispy Cake" that was adorable.

And each party goer got to take home "Strawberry" sun glasses, Strawberry Shortcake coloring book, and a special "Strawberry Shortcake" CD with songs they could dance to. Pink Lemonade, Cinnamon rolls [homemade by Carly] frosted in of course pink frosting. And Carly stayed up until 3:30 in the morning modpodginga house made out of particleboard covered with scrapbook paper that looked like carpet and wall paper. She cut out furniture from RC Willey and Lowe's ads and glued them on the walls so there were 4 rooms....a kitchen complete with cupboards, refrigerator, and small appliances....a bathroom with toilet, shower, pictures on the wall, and rug on the floor......Front room complete with sofa, and big screen TV.....and finally a bedroom with bed, dresser, lamps, and mirrors. It was for Farrah's Pet Shop animals she got for her birthday [E-Bay]. What we won't do for our kids. She did everything for Farrah's Birthday but stitch her name on a hot pad! [If you get my drift]

Farrah had a great party with all the people that love her.....her friends, Grandmas and Grandpas, her mom and dad and the Farnsworth cousins!

Happy Birthday Princess!!!!

For tomorrow.....well you will be just Farrah....But I love that girl!

Catching up.....Birthdays

Happy Birthday to Carly and Emma!

While we were gone on our trip, Carly and Emma had a Birthday.

On the 25th of July we celebrated at Oaklawn Park in North Ogden before we left with a picnic, birthday song, and gifts. Then the kids played on the play ground, and we watched as Aaron and Mason practiced fielding for Baseball. We saw a deer run across the baseball fieild, and were eventually moved out by windy and rainy weather. But at least we were able to say "Happy Birthday"!! Later Carly, Emma, Holly, Analyn and I went to the Rodeo. It was a really great Rodeo, with lots of "Bull mischief". It was a fun night. Sorry, no pictures, I have a big "L" on my forehead.
Hey, I found pics some on my computer. This is Emma at Easter and Carly and Farrah a couple of years ago. Veronica took the one of C and F.

Hope Your Birthday was AMAZING!!!!
