It's Heaven to be Seven!

Kate picked the perfect theme to celebrate her 7th birthday this year. She wanted to use Littlest Pet Shop. Little did she know that we would be taking her to the pet shop on her birthday! She unwrapped a little fish tank after a dinner featuring a Macaroni and Cheese buffet. The buffet included no less than 3 types of mac and cheese and various toppings to put on top. Peas, sliced hot dogs and spaghetti sauce were among the choices. ANYWAY, we traveled to the pet shop right away to pick a fish to put in the new fish tank! She has chosen a beautiful blue Betta named Molly! (pics to follow!!) She has been a sweetheart all day and what a joy she is to have as such an important part of our family. We love her very much.
Her cake was a mother/daughter project over the last several days. It was a fun time!

I love this cake because it looks so tricky, but it is not and that is the trick! Bumblebees and ladybugs adorned this petland dream. Kate designed fireflies to go on the cake as well. She wanted to have 7 of everything. 7 ladybugs, 7 fireflies, 7 bees, etc!! So perfect!


Yummy!



This was before we put all of the Littlest Pet shop characters on the cake. You gotta love blue jello! (You can see the fireflies at the back of the cake.) Fun ways to make fun memories!
