Abby's Strawberry Shortcake Bday Party!

Abby has loved Strawberry Shortcake since she started paying attention to TV! What was once "Cake" is now "Strawbee Cake" and when I asked her what kind of birthday cake she wanted, that was it! So there was our theme! And we decided to invite friends from the nursery at church and their families for a Strawberry Shortcake Party and BBQ! Hot dogs on the grill, potato salad, cole slaw, chips, cake and HOMEMADE strawberry shortcake for the adults! Here's the party in pics...

Sunday morning "makeup" applied by Abby herself-I let her leave it on her face too long and she had to go to church with rose-tinted cheeks! I guess that was the point, huh? True "blush"!

She was so excited to dress up! There were plenty more gifts, and everyone was soooooooo generous! We really appreciate it!

We really had a blast and were so excited to spend time with friends and family! What a day it was!.....

OMG - can I have some of that cake? I think we should start a recipe swap club with Alicia's back to school cakes and your strawberry shortcake. Lovely.
