Leilani Turns 6

A week after Emily's birthday we celebrated Leilani's! She was also very excited and glad the day finally arrived! She woke up and opened a few presents and then headed off to school with some cupcakes to share with her class at recess! 



We decided Emily would have a party this year and Leilani would have one next year - the girls were both happy with that and even though Lani didn't get to have a party she still had a special day and was very spoilt!

We headed out for tea at Salamanca Inn on her birthday with most of the Carmichael's and she really liked that. The meal was delicious and I think we all want to go back! Leilani is still impressed at how the waiter knew it was her birthday - there was a candle in her chocolate sundae dessert!

On Sunday we had family tea at the Woolleys house and some of the cousins came to help celebrate Lani's birthday with a Pinata Cake!  I didn't get many photos of Leilani breaking the cake with the hammer but we have it on video!!  







If you ever make this cake - I suggest you keep it in the fridge so it stays hard and 'cracks' when the hammer hits it! It still worked well and Lani loved using the hammer but because the chocolate had softened I don't think it cracked at well as it could have! I didn't even get a photo of all the 'goodies' inside!! Too much happening!!
