Lydia Turns Three!

My little girl turned THREE last month. I can't believe it. Where does the time go? People keep telling me that before I know it my kids will become teenagers and you know what, I think I'm starting to believe them. We had a couple of different birthday celebrations, one on her actual birthday with us and her aunt and cousins, then another one on the following Saturday with a couple of friends. Lydia just doesn't do big parties so we kept it to just a few families in our ward. I made a Cinderella cake for that party and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I bought a cake pick for the top and I was right to be worried about getting the frosting colors to match with the cake pick. They didn't. But, I think they coordinated well enough. I actually attempted fondant for the first time, marshmallow fondant. It was pretty easy, if a little messy, and it was fun to make the textured skirt with the fondant as opposed to trying to do it with buttercream.
