Our girls's birthdays are only a few days apart, so between their friends, immediate family, and grandparents on all sides, we were required to eat cake approximately 37 times within a very short period.
First there was Ada's actual birthday, celebrated at home with just our family.

Then on the weekend between their birthdays, they invited their friends over for a Frozen party.
We moved the big screen to the living room for a screening of the movie, the girls wore their princess (flower girl) dresses, and we had popcorn (everywhere), delivered pizza, and blue "ice" punch.

I set up an ice palace in their bedroom for those who don't like the scary parts. It was complete with garbage bag "ice" on the floor, batting "snow," and new coloring books.

| Yikes. |
Caleb was mesmerized by the movie and inspired to put on someone's princess shoes.
I did at least get a pass on making a cake that day. We had an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.
To celebrate at Grandma's house, they got a sparkly pink sprinkle cake.
Age pancakes were required for breakfast.
And finally, Lizzy's actual birthday. She requested a strawberry cake. (Note to self: wait to put on fresh strawberries until the last minute.)
Good thing October and November don't have any other holidays that involve sweets or large feasts. I wouldn't be able to button my pants.
Hilarious. The joys of a large family and multiple October birthdays!
