Today we celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday which was officially yesterday.  Her party today was at a nearby park just down the road from us.  It was a beautiful, warm November day as we celebrated Cupcake #4's big day with family and friends. 
For this year's cake I decorated a park cake to go along with our party location.  Playmobil 123 pieces came in handy, but I did make the swingset out of pretzel rods, black licorice, a Life Saver, and a yellow Laffy Taffy swing.


Here's a close-up of the swingset I built for the cake:

And here is the Playmobil 123 slide:

Then I made cupcakes and used the easy toothpick idea that I have used several times before to decorate each cupcake.  I copied and pasted a photo in a word document of my daughter on park equipment that a took a few weeks back.  I shrunk the picture and copied and pasted 24 copies onto one page. After printing the page and cutting out each picture, I then taped each picture to a toothpick.  Instant personalized cupcake decorations that are low cost, easy, quick, and cute!  :) 

It was a blessed birthday and a lot of fun!
