EMILY!!


I hate to start a sentence with "poor Emily", because we all know there isn't anything poor about that girl!  BUT...having a birthday so close to Christmas does have some downsides.  No school parties, friends busy or out of town, that kind of stuff.




This year we decided to turn the tables on that birthday and celebrate early!  Emily's school BFF is going to be busy once break starts so they spent the whole day together yesterday playing, decorating, eating, shopping and going to a movie.








Chocolate cupcakes with peppermint swirl buttercream icing. YUM!




Um, yeah.  The dressing alike was a coincidence.  The eyeshadow was on purpose.  Yes, I let them go to the movie like that.







It certainly is!!








Really cute! (and way less trouble than the dolphin cake) 

But don't worry.  She has elaborate cake plans for the neighborhood party.  Oh yeah, you didn't think I could get away with an early celebration and then zilcho on the real day did you?  Ha.




Time for a little shopping at Claire's before the movie.  Nothing silly about these two :)




They had a blast and were both exhausted last night! 

As for me, it was fun to celebrate while I was still in the mood for shopping, baking and gifting.  Our plan for the hood is simple...meet on the playground for cake.  The plan is simple, the cake is not...




The inspiration photos.  Oye.  Of course the inside is yellow, pink and orange also.  We shall see....
