a stack of strawberry pancakes and a cookie cake

She began her big day with a stack of her favorite homemade strawberry-cakes.  Her little sister proudly stuck candles and heart-picks on the top for fun birthday decor.  My big girl always acts a little shy but inside, I know she is bursting with happiness.  Today was her day!

Celebrating 8 years with strawberry-cakes and later-on, a cookie cake were tops on the list of things to do.  She enjoyed arranging a flower bouquet, attending a stage play with her sweet Aunt and a roaring good big family dinner.

We were delighted to see you so happy today!  You are such a kind and considerate soul.  Happiest birthday wishes to our 8 year-old!
