Maeley's birthday was low key but fun. I wanted to plan a fun party with other friends and their babies, but it just didn't happen because of the trip and all. I did make her a cute little outfit the night before, and she rocked it!
I was going with a rainbow theme, when I was pregnant with Mae on one of my Dr.'s visits the nurse had asked me about my miscarriages and she said "so this one's your rainbow baby?" I hadn't heard that term before so I asked her what she meant, she said "this one's your silver lining, your rainbow after the storm." I couldn't hold back the tears, it was the truth it's exactly how I felt. Needless to say I am a little obsessed with rainbows when it comes to Mae, so of course her party was rainbow themed.
I sound several ideas for a cake;

Well since we had only been home a couple of days before her birthday I decided cupcakes was the way to go. I used koolaid packets to flavor each of the colors and it also helped to get the colors just right. Now here's a tip for ya when adding koolaid to your frosting, don't under any circumstances let your 4 yr old help with the koolaid, you will end up with very sour cupcakes! Anyway I was quite happy with how they all looked.
I did a bigger cupcake for Mae to smash, it didn't turn out as nice as I had wanted it too cause well the frosting kept melting off! I figured oh well she's gonna smash it anyway.
Man this girl loved her cake, she devoured it! I actually didn't even get to see her eat it cause I went to the kitchen to grab something and by the time I got it back she was done! Luckily my hubby took lots of pics for me!
Ryne, Kaleb and Ellie made sure Mae had a great birthday, they sang Happy Birthday to her every chance they got, they decorated the house and talked her through the birthday festivities and what birthdays are all about. I think they enjoyed her birthday more than she did!
Love the explanation of a rainbow baby! And those cakes look awesome!
