Well, the last two days have been full of birthday stuff. Last night, we went to my folks for our yearly Dad/Moo birthday celebration. My Dad's birthday is December 14th, and being the ALMOST perfect daughter (snicker), I missed having my eldest daughter on his birthday by one day. :)

| The cake...OOoooooooooo. I will NEVER be a cake decorator, so oooing and ahhhing over Jewel bakery cakes will have to do. |
 |
The celebrants are twelve and sixty-nine this year, but don't look a day over eleven and sixty-eight.
Celebrants...that's a word, right? |

Video of singing and very short speeches by the birthday boy and girl. Be afraid. Be very afraid. :)

| Day of Moo's birthday--a rare trip to the mall...to get her ears pierced! She was so nervous, but handled it well. Moo is so pleased with her little birthstone stud earrings. |
 |
| Seriously, what birthday trip to the mall would be complete without a visit to Panda Express? We love that place a little bit too much, I think. We had worked up an appetite, what, with all the ear piercing and posing for the camera at the Picture People, so Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken were in order. |
Another video:

| After a long day of messing around at the mall, going to violin lessons, sitting for choir evaluations, then rushing off to a salon appointment, a yummy cookie bouquet from her Daddy perfectly capped off a very full birthday. |

Well, I am a cake decorator, but I'll still Oooooo over a Jewel Bakery cake right along with you. Oh for a taste of that frosting. Mmmmm... Crisco!
Beyond that, what a beautiful 12 year old you have! I had to squeeze my own 11 year old and blink back the tears a bit. Where did the time go, friend?
