Happy, HAPPY birthday Adelyn!!

We were all SO HAPPY to be able to celebrate Adelyn's birthday together as a family.  Even Braden and Nelson got their first whiff of birthday cake that night.

She is growing up so fast!  Her birthday dinner was sponsored by some gracious ward members.  We made sure she was okay with this before anybody brought anything by, since usually the birthday girl gets to choose what she wants for dinner, and of course she was okay with it.  She is a very understanding girl.

I was able to plan most of Adelyn's birthday in the hospital.  I wrote up a couple treasure hunts and printed them off when I got home, and had Mike and my brothers running all over the house hiding them so Adelyn could find her presents.

I ordered a couple presents online, and actually went to shopping a couple days before I was being induced to buy her a shirt.  She got some a shirt, some brushes, lip smacker, Kerplunk, and a Webkinz cat from us.

Pink is the color of the year for Adelyn

And her cake... I keep getting deemed as some legend for making her cake so soon after bringing home two babies.  But really, I know how time consuming cakes are, and I knew this was going to be the easiest cake I have ever done, especially because with Adelyn turning 7 years old, she was old enough to do most of the hard work.  Check out her masterpiece!

The finished project.  Both the cake, and our newly-turned 7 year old are gorgeous!  I love how Mike whipped up some contraption so that the doll could be holding one of her candles.
