Since Lexie's birthday fell on a Monday this year and we were planning on being on the road that day we decided to celebrate a couple of days early - have her birthday on the Saturday and then we could get on the road on Sunday.
Well I really don't think Lexie minded she had a great day anyway.
I spent most of the day before her birthday making her cake - since she was very adamant that the wanted a Dora cake and sdhe wanted it made by Mummy. Thanksfully the local library has cake pans on loan and one of them was a Dora shape. That made everything so much easier. It still eneded up taking 4 hours to ice the cake anyway - it had 9 different colours and required three different icing tips.
But overall I was very proud of the result.
Here are a few random shots from throughout the day. As you can see there was very much a Dora the Explorer theme going. Dora Cake - new Dora Jammies, a Dora doll for her present.
Josh had fun getting in on the action too!
And finally a little video of Lexie on her big day. Overall I think she had fun!
Happy birthday Little girl!

That cake is awesome Jen. I don't know how you got the colours so good for her face especially! Love Josh helping with the blowing out too.
