Lisa's 6th Birthday Party

This year Lisa really really wanted to have a pool party for her birthday and since our apartment closes the pool after Labor day, we decided to celebrate a couple weeks early. Pizza, swimming and an ice-cream cake made for a fun summer day for all of us. Lisa asked for a castle cake again and I found a much easier way to do it than the last time. It is was way less work to make an ice-cream cake than an actual frosted cake. Lisa even helped me dip the cones in white chocolate and put sprinkles on them for the towers. Yum! We were joined by Trina, Anna and Ellery, Jon and Addy, Donna and Tony and their kids, and our super nice manager of the apartments, Erin, stopped by. It was actually quite nice to have the pool as the main attraction. Lisa seemed to have fun just swimming with friends.
