Strawberry Shortcake Party

This year Ryan decided she wanted to have a Strawberry Shortcake swim party!  She decided about 4 months ago and never wavered.  Aunt Rocks let Ryan look through a bunch of pictures of cakes and Ryan picked out the one she wanted.  Uncle, Tauri and Aunt Rocks got home from vacation late Friday night and spent the night with us.  Aunt Rocks (with the help of Uncle, Tauri and Ryan) made the cake the morning of the party.  It was very impressive to watch!  Here are the pictures from the cake making party and the Strawberry Shortcake swim party.  It was a great day!

Uncle and his girls!

Ryan got to open up one gift from us the morning of her party.

It was a new swimsuit, goggles, diving rings and strawberry shoes.

She was all set for her pool party!

Emma was ready to party!

She put this on herself!

Ryan hung out in the kitchen for over 4 hours.
She loved "helping".

Our new kitchen was great for the project!

Aunt Rocks is so awesome to do this every year for
the girls!

Uncle helped me with food prep and balloons.

So did Tauri!

The cake turned out amazing!
