The return of Baby Rainbow Dash

Hazel had a beloved tiny plastic Rainbow Dash pony with removable hair. She also has a baby Cheerilee but the Rainbow Dash was a favorite. Unfortunately, right about the time of our trip to Wyoming Baby Rainbow Dash went missing. I've searched the car, the house, everywhere. I'm guessing she was left in one of the many hotels we visited on our trip home. Hazel claims she was going on fabulous adventures and got lost in the woods. Every time she sees a crop of trees we have to look for poor lost little Baby Rainbow Dash.

And now for the other part of the story. No, we did not find little baby Rainbow Dash. However, this week Hazel insisted she did not want to wear a pull up to bed any longer because she was a big girl now. So we tried it and success. Two nights and no accidents. Her reward, as you might guess, a new little baby Rainbow Dash. Who is set to arrive here tomorrow, along with baby Pinkie Pie and baby Scootaloo.

Let me tell you, finding a baby Rainbow Dash, not an easy feat. Hence why she's getting all three because that's all I could find on Amazon. Hopefully, tomorrow I will have one happy little girl and we can stop searching for the poor lost little baby Rainbow Dash.

The big 5!

That's right my baby is 5. We celebrated with a home brewed my little pony party. I thought about doing my usual fancy decorating scheme, a cake with 3D ponies, etc. Then I decided, Clara is always wishing she could participate more when it comes to baking, decorating and decision making, so why not let her do it. It's her party after all. So Clara picked out decorations, decided on food, decided on the cake flavor, helped bake the cake and decorated it herself. She also made the artwork for the invitations and the "Happy Birthday" banner. I think letting her do all this was just as exciting for her than the actual party. Everything seemed to go well. We had a taco bar, all her idea, which I have to say worked out really well because it was easy to do. As usual I didn't get many photos because I was busy but here are the few I did get.

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Buttercream, covered in white fondant and decorated by the birthday girl.

Birthday Banner done by Clara, the ponies and a hot air balloon.

Flowers from the garden, we had 7 vases full of them.
