It all began yesterday morning...had to whip up two dozen cupcakes to bring to Ryanna's classroom. I threw one on the floor for good measure. (I was rushing...)
Cooled them, frosted them, decorated them. (Yes, I know that they aren't very original, but they had to be simple and uniform)
Got the presents wrapped and the table decorated.
(do you spy my little "helper")
Barely getting to the classroom on time (it was snowing like crazy)
Her class sang to her and she beamed. (Totally eating up all the attention, where does she get that from?!) She picked her helper and it was, of course, Isaac!
She and Isaac passed them out.
And she took her ceremonious First Bite. (see all of the kids anxiously awaiting their turn?!)
After she got home from school, she was chomping at the bit waiting for Ryan to get home so we could open the other couple presents on the table. She was going mad! She was so tired of waiting and when Ryan got home after dinner, he had never been greeted like this before. There was yelling. There was screaming! Not because of him returning from a long day at school and because we missed him, but rather because now she could open the presents!
We sang Happy Birthday and lit up the cool candles. They burn the color of the candle!
She got some cool stuff! A porcelain tea set from my parents, a darling outfit and Little Women book from my in-laws, a big Sleeping Beauty Doll from her brothers and a Bratz Makeup set from my grandparents. Lucky Girl! Along with other sweet cards, phone calls and letters from the rest of our extended family and friends. Thank you all!
Another fun birthday surprise was 5 new inches of snow overnight! Who would have thought that we'd still have to hear the snowplows at 3 am in Springtime?! (See how lazy I am lately? That same blanket is still there waiting to thaw and then be air-dried)
Wow! Sure was a busy busy birthday....and it wasn't even mine!

Your cupcakes look great! I have never seen cool candles like that before. Where did you find those? As for the snow, I feel sorry for you. I see my fair share of snow living in Idaho Falls, but I think you see more then I do. Hopefully Ryan's job will take you somewhere nice.
Looks like a great birthday! The snow....boooooooooooooo.
Happy Late Birthday to Ryanna! I love her birth stroy. It really is the ultimate april fool's joke!
Happy Birthday to Ryanna! I think it's interesting...birthdays start out as a huge sacrifice for the child, and that sacrifice never really ends! We have no idea how special we really are on our birthdays!
I wish birthdays were as fun now than they were at 7.
Happy Birthday to Ryanna!!! What a fun birthday it looked like she had. And those cupcakes did too turn out great! :)
