Autumn had a super fun 5th birthday week! She had about 7 friends over the weekend before her birthday. She wanted a castle cake, which was Mommy's first attempt at making a homemade cake. (There is a cake under all of those ice cream cones).

They all lined up to pull strings on the pinata (kids don't swing at them blindfolded anymore!)

Lots of candy and big lollipops were enjoyed by all. Then we sent everyone home!!

We also had a "family" party the weekend after her birthday.
She had yet another cake and more presents too.

Opening gifts with her cousins, Hope, Adi and Brooke.

All in all, she had a great time. When she went to bed after the last celebration she asked, "Mommy, how many days until my next birthday?"
