happy birthday little nora!

nora is now officially 9!  Sweet celebration with friends to start the weekend...She wanted a campout (in the house!) and went wild on pinterest!  I had to keep telling her that just because she "pinned it" did not mean it was going to be done!

 her campfire cake!

girls did not want their cupcakes and all dove into nora's!

(cake seen on pinterest and then adapted some...sugar cone tree, iced and crystal sprinkles...crumbled chocolate teddy graham dirt...cadbury whitish/gray eggs for rocks with broken pretzel sticks and a paper tent.)

 nora and her buddies played extreme twister, head-blue...right elbow green!

and ended the weekend partying with grand (and great grand) moms and the siblings!

 happy birthday to you!

 mally made cake pops for her sister!They were a hit!
