Pleading the Fifth

Bekah tried to convince me on her birthday that she needed new slippers. Her current slippers fit her just fine. She said she was now 5, resulting in the growth of her feet, which in turn meant new slippers. She also thought she could suddenly reach the kitchen sink on her birthday. She didn't let her defeat bother her too much.
We had a little party with her friends a couple days before. Matt built a castle for the kids to play in.

The castle


The guests


The cake



The presents



Matt and I didn't think it was possible for sweet little Bekah to get spoiled, but it did get to her head a little bit.
 On the big day, she started the day with a present.


Then she and I went out to see Tangled in the theater.


While we were out, Alex made her a present: the Grinch's sleigh.



And then she opened the rest of her gifts, followed up with the rest of that castle cake.

Holy cow! That cake is amazing! You win the cool cake award. For the spires, did you dip ice cream cones in pink-colored almond bark or something?
Looks like Bekah had an awesome birthday! I like the picture of the two of you together. How was tangled?

Natalie saw the cake and was very impressed. She asked me to make her one next year.

You and Bekah look super cute together.

Wow! Way to go Matt! That castle is way cooler than any fort we ever created out of couch cushions and table chairs!
