Happy 11th B!

we had another birthday to celebrate today. B turned 11. it is official...we now have daughters that are
10
11
12
13
years old. well, until october when S turns 14. yup it is crazy around here. AND loud!

B's cake turned out better than E's. guess ice cream is not my medium. E sculpted the bamboo from fondant.

we started the day by having fresh baked orange cinnamon rolls for breakfast. then it was off to homeschool group. after, the homeschool families went to a local park for lunch and cake. it was fun and B loved it...positively beamed all day.

B got a remote control car from us...

a homemade necklace and bracelets from our good friends...she kept saying, "i love this one" about her new jewels...

 and she received her first legos and a toy helicopter from her grandparents.

it was B's choice for dinner so we celebrated at a local pizza house with friends and her grandparents. it was a nice day, but boy is this mommy tired after tandem birthdays. at least i can rest for four months before the next one. 

these shirts from grandma beany say it all!!

THANK YOU LORD FOR BRINGING OUR SWEET GIRL INTO OUR FAMILY. WE MISSED HER FIRST TEN BIRTHDAYS, BUT PRAY THAT YOU WILL PROVIDE US WITH TIME TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE DOZENS MORE. WE THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF SALVATION, LOVE, AND FAMILY. THIS IS OUR BEST YEAR YET! WE TRULY APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN US. HELP US TO LIVE LIVES DEDICATED TO YOU...FOR WE OWE YOU EVERYTHING. AMEN.
