Arieanna turned the big 8 on March 2, 2012! What a big year this is for her as she was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! She was anticipating this day for a long while now and it finally became reality for her. She decided that she wanted a "rainbow" theme for it cause the rainbow reminds her of God's promise that He made us!
We first started her birthday off with a "rainbow" hairstyle but instead of red we used pink!
Then, we made some "rainbow" cupcakes for her class at school. Let me tell you, this was a very time consuming thing when it came to making the actual cupcake itself. You see, there are six different colors in the rainbow and the batter was thick...so each color that I put into the tin I had to spread out with my finger (don't worry, I washed my hands). Just think, I had to do this 35 times. But it was well worth it;-) So this is what the cupcake looked like without the frosting and decor. Isn't it pretty!
I was going to just frost the top and be done with them but oh no...Arieanna wanted a little bit more to it so this is what we came up with!
The kids really enjoyed them especially when they saw that the cupcake was a rainbow!
Getting ready to pass them out!
Arieanna, as her classmates sing Happy Birthday!
Then when she got home, Manuel and I sang Happy Birthday and gave her her gift.
We got her her own set of scriptures with an adorable scripture bag...and inside the bag was a baptism necklace, bracelet and CTR ring! She was super ecstatic!
It says CTR on the side;-)
Alayna even made her a little card! What a sweet sister she is!
Since her birthday fell on a Friday this year, her baptism wasn't until Saturday. So we went ahead and decided that we would just do something simple and sweet on Friday and then do more with the family and friends on Saturday!
More on the baptism in the next post...........
We were going to do these for Tanaya's valentines party. The rainbow on top is awesome! I miss you sis!!!!!
