Colorful Party

All year I have been planning on making a rainbow cake for I's birthday. She didn't necessarily request it. I just saw a picture of one and loved it, so I convinced her that she would love it too (although I think she was disappointed it wasn't the rainbow decorated one from Costco). 

One of my favorite quotes from I this year: (completely out of the blue as she was eating lunch one day) "My name is _ and I was born in San Francisco and I love rainbows."  That was it. She said it a couple times to herself and I thought it was funny. It must have been the many many times we drove down Market street. The visions of rainbow flags stuck in her head. 

The point is, she has a colorful personality, she loves rainbows, she had a birthday party, it was rainbow themed, and it was a blast! Here's the proof:

It wouldn't be a 5-year-old party without this game.

"Accidentally" letting balloons fly free.

5 candles (count 'em).

Making colorful wishes.

The queen of the cake!

My masterpiece 

(Yes, I know the colors are in the wrong order, don't judge.)

Birthday girl.

Again, it wouldn't be a party without a pinata (and a whole bunch of leftover Halloween candy).

 And streamers

And rainbow colored balloons (that met their maker later during the party). 

All things rainbow.

To top it off, a picture with all the colorful girls in front of my favorite bridge.

Can you believe we survived? It was a fun day, I can't wait for next year (now I'm starting to sound like her)!  I'm thinking "Under the Sea"? ooh, or how about "Red Carpet"? 

This could be epic.

ps: I apologize that none of these pictures have been photo-shopped. I am too slow at blogging to add editing to the list. You don't mind? True friends like blurry, dark, and overexposed photos right?
