What A Day!

It has turned into a birthday week for Anna! She decided that she wanted a mermaid birthday party. While looking for party supplies, we came across this mermaid dress on Amazon. It screamed "Anna" so loudly that I couldn't pass it up--the price was good too!
The last couple years Anna has decorated her own cakes and this year was no different. She wanted to pipe 2 tone frosting on the cupcakes. I was pretty pleased that it worked! One back was blue and pink, the other was blue and purple.
 Each cupcake was unique. We made mermaid tails and shells out of candy melts and molds. She was thrilled with her creations. I was too!
 After those cupcakes were decorated we loaded our party up to go to Janell's house. It was McDonald's for lunch and then swimming! What better thing to do for a mermaid party!

 Meanwhile, Josiah was fishing with Grandad and Jeff. He says this is the first catch of the day, but later he got a "keeper."
 And then in the evening Aliza and I attended the Magi Choral Festival. The last 2 years, Aliza sang in the Children's Choir, but this year she didn't really want to sing and I thought it would be a great opportunity for her to hear a choir. She did enjoy the music. Somehow she managed to get me to stop at Cookout for a milkshake on the way home.
It was a really good day for everyone! Jeremy was a judge for a programming event at SU which he enjoyed too.
