well. the baby is five. i’m not sure how it happened. time is flying by. we held an obligatory photo shoot in the camper. and it took a million tries to get good pictures of her, because she can’t resist making silly faces. so, five. the crazelnut is the hilarious, class clown of our family. […]

hazel’s super early birthday party.
while we were “home”, we also managed to squeeze in a little birthday celebration for the crazelnut. her actual birthday is in a week, but we will be all alone on the road, so we had a little family party between our thanksgiving and our extra early family christmas. since i sold all of my […]
a peppa pig themed 2nd birthday party for the crazelnut.
i can’t even believe it. it went by in a flash. last thursday, hazel turned two. she’s currently obsessed with all things peppa pig, so a peppa pig themed party was in order. first, we attempted some chalkboard birthday pics. she loved the balloons. but, overall, was NOT super cooperative. we had to switch out […]
the frozen cakery
when we settled on a frozen themed birthday for the girl, i began to pin approximately 800 cakes and cupcakes. after much deliberation, i settled on these. first. some snowflake decor. i made two trays full of sparkly fondant snowflakes. i was just going to shove plastic rings on plain cupcakes for school, but then […]
the epic frozen extravaganza.
so. a little background first. the trip i took to florida with the girls last month was supposed to also have a trip to disney and universal tacked on. as we planned, it just wasn’t looking like the best financial decision. and the logistics of it all weren’t coming together as wonderfully as we had […]
isaac’s eighth birthday.
minecraft mania.
last saturday. isaac lidbom turned. eight. eight. EIGHT. how did this happen? anyhooo… we took some obligatory chalkboard pics of the boy as he entered into his ninth year on the planet… first, one by himself. all proud. then, anna joined in the fun. except she wasn’t feeling it was so fun to have all […]
hazel’s birthday party. (parties).
and now. a gratuitous amount of hazel eating cake pictures. first up. her actual birth day. we just had a little family only cupcake party. hazel. not a fan. (truth be told, she was crying because we told her not to touch the flame). she recovered nicely, and dug into the delicious frosting. she took […]
rainbow dash cake
as i previously mentioned, anna decided on a rainbow dash cake. obviously, that meant the inside should be rainbow layers. obviously. the crumb coated cake is always pretty too. rainbow dash. on a cloud. as requested. it was also explained to me that i was NOT to put the blue border around the bottom of […]
four.
last week. on thursday. this kid turned four. it seems very impossible. she’s quite a little character. very independent. and stubborn. she is a super little artist. and loves to read. and pretend. and play with princess dolls. and baby dolls. and hoard piles of random toys into the hidden corners of the house. we […]
the lego birthday party.
for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday party in our home. with a newborn. with six boys. ages 6 and 7. and make individual cakes for the kids to decorate. i’m obviously not thinking clearly in my sleep deprived state. here’s how it went. earlier this week, […]
