Birthday Girl

Hard to believe that 10 years ago today, O. was born. She celebrated it with spending it downtown in DM at the Civic Center practicing for her dance recital this weekend. We had to be downtown at 4:30 and didn't get home until 8PM. Once she and I got home, we were able to sing "Happy Birthday" to her. Phil baked the two 8-inch strawberry flavored cakes yesterday afternoon. I gave him directions on how to grease the pans so the cake wouldn't stick to the bottom. They came out perfectly. O. wanted lavender frosting, so I made the buttercream frosting and piped on the stars. I haven't made a homemade cake in a long time but doing just the basics isn't too difficult.



Her favorite gift were these earrings. O. wants her ears pierced, so after her recital we'll take her to get them pierced. No earrings allowed during the performance.
