Emily's 5

It is so hard to believe that my baby girl has turned 5... She has been so fun to have,and keeps life very intersting indeed. This year for her cake she wanted an angel food strawberry shortcake. It looks very messy after it is made, but it tastes awesome. So I conceded, and as you can see it looks as messy as I thought it would, but she thought it was great. I put Strawberry shortcake in the middle holding a huge strawberry, which ofcourse Emily thought SHE needed, and DID eat. Her birthday was on Wednesday June 25th, so after church we had our church family over to help us celebrate. It turn out to be a fun time for all. The MESSY cake was even a definite hit! Emily got a dollar from Great-grandma-pa Ayars in the mail about 2 days before her birthday. Well....you know how kids are, when they've got money it starts burning a hole in their pocket. While we were at GoodWill Monday Emily found this pretty little candle that was in a shape of a heart decorted all pretty. She begged to buy that with her money, saying "That way my baby can have a cake on her birthday momma." After we got home I was taking a closer look at the candle, when I realized it had 5 holes to stick little candles in the cake. (It had also came with the 5 little candles) so that solved the dileama of not having enough room to put candles on the cake; we'd just have this sitting beside of the cake.
