Six Years Ago Today...

...I gave birth to my daughter. It was an intense labor - only four hours long. They had to induce me as I was ten days over due. And she came out so beautiful and perfect.

She decorated all of the cupcakes shown above (plus about ten more) for her friends at school. She used Scooby Doo sprinkles and made each one unique - just like she is.

Tonight we'll be having a birthday party at a fun center with pizza, cake, go-carts, games, and lots of fun.

I truly believe she is a gift from God - and I thank Him every day that He gave me such a wonderful child!

  3. I can't believe it. I remember when she was about 16 mos. old. Yikes. I think she would like a 3 year old sister. I will send that to her for a birthday present if that is alright with you.
