Our Little Leesi-bug turns 2
Alyse's birthday is actually not until tomorrow but since it is on a Sunday and it being Father's Day we celebrated it today. We call Alyse Leesi-bug all the time so it was only appropriate that bug be our theme for this birthday. I just can't believe that she is two already. I know it is so cliche but man how time flies. Here are a few highlights of the fun party.

And of course the birthday girl with here cake. She was not really into smiling today.
Blow out the Candles!!!
Dessert! Yummmmm!
She seems to like it:)

Here are the party animals:)
I am pretty sure Alyse was telling me to stop in this picture. She was getting sick of people telling her to smile and say cheese.
Enjoying a smaller bug:)
Isaac on the slip and slide. It looks like he might take out Emmy. The kids had so much fun outside. It is amazing how just a little bit of water can keep kids entertained forever.

Alyse got some new books from them to. A funny thing happened, after the party I asked Joe where all of the pictures of the other presents were. Apparently I was so busy video taping I forgot to take any pictures of it. Awesome!

That is the CUTEST cake I have EVER seen! Seriously! Ellee's birthday is Wednesday and her theme in her room is ladybugs--so, I was thinking about doing a ladybug cake. And...I never could have imagined a ladybug cake could turn out that cute. How in the world did you do it!? I love it! I'm not sure what I'll do, but I'm pretty positive it won't turn out even half that cute. You're so talented! And, Happy Birthday Alyse! She's such a cutie!
Hey I loved the cake!! How come all my sisters are so inventive and creative and I am so not!! It really stinks. But hey I am glad that it turned out so well. WE love you guys!!!!
Thank you so much for the info on the cake. I'm thinking I may try to copy you (I hope that's okay!) I'm a little nervous how mine will turn out, but I'll give it a try. Last year I attempted to make a ladybug cake for her...and after the second total failure (the cakes just turned out disgusting--I don't know why!), I just ended up with a 3rd plain chocolate cake. I figured I'd try again this year. So, wish me luck! :)
Bytheway--your haircut is so cute! I can't remember if I mentioned that before. But, I love it!
Thanks for the other pointers! So...I just bought the red gel stuff (before I read your comment). Who knew it could taste bad? ...not me! I saw a "no taste" red, but I thought it must be a typo for "no paste" red...I'm a dork. So...basically, maybe I'll do pink and black or some other color... Thanks again! Otherwise, my ladybugs would have tasted like gross red gel die stuff--and who wants that? :) Bytheway, did you just cook the medium one in the cereal bowl in the microwave or something? I've been trying to figure that out. I think it could work. If not, just use lots of frosting and cover it up, right? :)
Alright! Now I know all your tricks! :) Thanks.
What a fun party. And the cake is to die for, it is so adorable. How did you do it?
