She had a great day although it was a little different because Daddy was in NY for work (He was really sad he couldn't be there.--He did call and sing to her and she laughed and giggled and said, "Daddy is a silly guy!"), and Grandma and Grandpa Tobler and Brooke were on their way home from WY where they had a stake youth conference trek (they did get home that night in time to give her presents before she went to bed). She still had Mom, Lincoln, Preston, Aunt April and Uncle Michael with her in CO to celebrate her special day.
Normally I bake and decorate the cake for birthdays but since we were in CO and April has taken some cake decorating classes Natalie asked her if she would make her a cake for her birthday. So the kids and I were happy to help (watch) April bake and decorate Natalie's cake.
She had the kids help her the day before by baking the cake and they loved it!
Then on Natalie's birthday she came over with all her cake decorating stuff and Natalie and I watched her decorate it per Natalie's request (a pink cake with pink frosting and pink flowers and green leaves). I think the cake turned out great!Natalie loved it!
Thanks April, you're a great aunt and sister-in-law!!!
Natalie loved eating the practice flowers.Natalie was too excited to take a nap earlier in the day with her brothers but she was so tuckered out she fell asleep on the floor. Pretty cute!
When she woke up she didn't want to eat dinner but get right to singing "Happy Birthday", blowing out candles, opening presents, and eating cake and ice cream.
So Natalie got some great things that she loves--princess roller skates with knee and elbow pads, a Fancy Nancy book, a 24 piece princess puzzle that she quickly learned to do on her own and loves taking apart and putting back together, some clothes and sunglasses, a heart money bank (Lincoln got a train one), some musice CDs and a pig water squirter from Michael and April, a dress and shirt, lip gloss and nail polish set with hair clips and magic grow towelette from Grandma and Grandpa and a princess phone from Brooke.

That is a cool cake! April does such a good job.
It was good to see you guys this past weekend. I hope you have a good trip to Idaho and back to Virginia. We'll have to make it out there (maybe we can do it next year).
