Fiesta Time!!

Ella turned 3 on November 14!!  
We had a swimming party, it is stressful with kids around water for me.  Luckily the kid to adult ratio was about 1:1.  

I planned this cake in my head for weeks.  I did research on the web and asked some friends many questions regarding cake recipes.  I used a cake recipe from my favorite recipe blog, buildabelly.blogspot.com (thanks Abby)!!  It was 5 layers didn't slip and slide like I expected it to.

Ella's special birthday outfit!  Favorite blue dress, 2 sizes too big, favorite pink trimmed shirt, a size to small, and some sandals for the 10 degree day.  Mother of the year!

How old are you today??

Wow! I'm relieved that your cake turned out so splendidly. (I was afraid that it would flop and you'd boycott buildabelly forever.)

It looks awesome, and Ella is a beautiful three!
