Tomorrow is Nat's birthday, but today is the party. I made a hideous cake, which of course, Nat loves. I should have unveiled it a little later though, because she had a major breakdown this morning and wailed, "But I don't want to take a nap, I want to eat my rainbow cake!"
The butterflies are cupcakes made with a pan I couldn't resist picking up at Target. Just enough of them came out for the child guests (of which there are two, plus Selina).
Those are beautiful cupcakes! That cake is cracking me up - I'm not sure I'd say it's hideous, but it's something. ha ha
Happy Birthday Nat - have the best year ever.
My little guy (youngest) turns 3 in just over a week - we are keeping it small and simple too. We did the dreaded Chuck E Cheese this year for the first time for the middle one turning 6. If I were not in recovery, I would have taken drugs before going. Although the oldest one (11) having 6 friends over to play instruments was almost as crazy - but at least we were home. Sometimes being a parent is not easy for an introvert.
Enjoy the party!

Delurking (I don't think I've commented before) to say, I love that cake! And can I just say... Karen's comment terrifies me, as we're doing the Chuck E. Cheese thing for the first time next week. Uh oh. Happy birthday to your Nat!
