Katie's FIFTH Birthday!


Katie had been planning her birthday party since 2010.

She laid it all out for me.

"I want my birthday party to be at "the bouncy house place" and I
want to invite all my preschool buddies.
I want my cake to be a Lady Sylvanas cake.
I want Lady Sylvanas on it and I want purple frosting and chocolate cake."

So it is written, so it shall be done.


YEEEEEE-HAAWWWWWWW!!!!




Here are Katie and Cousin Joey taking a quick break from all the
crazy jumping action.




The kids weren't the ONLY ones
having fun......




It was time for one last slide before heading on up
to the party room for snacks, cake and, of course, presents.



Katie picked her favorite snacks to serve at the party.

Pirate's Booty, Cuties and juice.

Yum.




And now, ladies and gentlemen, a woman that should need no introduction,
the leader of the Forsaken of Azeroth, the Banshee Queen herself.....

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner!!!!

Only respectful cheers and applause please.

Cat calls will be answered with the thud of an arrow piercing your
puny mortal chest.




It was an ugly cake. But we hit all the marks:

Lady Sylvanas, check.
Red velvet cake, check.
(Totally unplanned drippy, creepy, undead looking) Purple frosting, check.

We hit a few extra marks as well:

White chocolate skulls and bones, check.
Edible green slime in cauldrons, check.
White chocolate Horde insignias, check.
Neon green steps up to dais on which to worship her evilness, check.







So, it wasn't what I had imagined the cake to look like.

But, I guess it didn't matter.

Katie loved it and we got lots of comments on it.
One mom stated that it was "refreshingly morbid".
Awesome.

This is what it looked like when it was all said and done.



Then it was on to presents.

Katie got to sit on a giant inflatable
throne.

She decided to share with
a decidedly unsafe amount of friends.



The presents from her friends were great.

We went from this sword below.....




....to her first Barbie and everything in between.





Then it was time to pack it up to head home and open
even MORE presents, this time from family.

Ariel dolls, a beautiful Ariel nightgown, art sets,
a Princess electric guitar, new pink sandals and all sorts of stuff.

She had quite the haul.

With the help of a very talented friend
we were able to give Katie her
very own replica of Lady Sylvana's cloak.

Again with the awesome.




To top it all off she got her very
own baby Murloc.

Meet Gurky.....



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE!!!!

April 2024 - Part 2

I'm not gonna lie. The rest of April was about Cinderella and pretty much just Cinderella.  We arrived back from Mexico for the start of...
