After breakfast, we started getting ready for Eden's rainbow themed birthday party. The inspiration for her party was the cake. A friend of mine had made it for her little girl's birthday party and I really wanted to try to make it, so I asked Eden if she would like a rainbow party and she agreed. Eden and Parker helped me bake the cakes the day before so all I had to do was assemble it. It was a little lopsided but Eden didn't seem to mind! I also made a rainbow fruit tray, which turned out great and ended up being devoured by our guests in no time.
Eden was in a great mood all day and fully cooperated when we asked her to take some pictures before her party began. I was a little shocked...she usually starts crying the minute she sees the camera being pointed in her direction. 
While we waited for everyone to arrive, the kids had fun jumping in the bounce house. The weather didn't cooperate so we ended up putting the bounce house in the garage, but the kids didn't seem to mind.
After everyone arrived, we started the party with a rainbow activity. The kids searched all around the living room for arcs in the different colors of the rainbow. Once they found all of their colors, they put them together to make a rainbow magnet.
Next we ate cake and ice cream. Eden got a little bit embarrassed as we were singing to her, but not enough to make her cry. She usually doesn't like when people sing to her so that was a big step for Eden- yea!! She also did a great job blowing out her candles!
After Eden blew out her candles, it was time to reveal the big surprise! The cake looked very plain and simple on the outside, but when we cut into it, a rainbow was waiting for us! Eden absolutely loved it and told me as I was putting her to bed that night that her favorite part of her birthday was the rainbow cake!
Finally, we let Eden open her presents. She got some very fun things that we have already been enjoying playing with the past few days. 
We are so grateful to all of our family and friends who took time out of their day to help us celebrate our sweet girl! Happy Birthday Eden! We love you very much!
