It was so nice opening gifts outside. The weather was beautiful and the shade from the tree provided a great place for picture taking. Let's face it, I am in full photographer mode with this course I am taking. I am loving it!
Andrew and Nathaniel looking on.
Jesse and my dad have such a great relationship. I love being able to capture these moments.
Abigail opening one of her gifts. At bedtime she confided that her friends all liked bugs but she thought they were gross. She faked it really well during the gift opening. Although she may be coming around since she has taken this book to church and used a number of the activities.
Abigail was very excited about the bubble gum.
Sarah thought it would be cool to stick it on her arm.
Just peeking.
We got her some of her own music. Have I mentioned my girl is 8 turning 14?
She spotted something interesting in there.
Her birthday cake. I was able to get it done just before supper time. And for anyone out there decorating their own cakes without pastry bags...I just put the icing in ziploc bags and trimmed off the corner. It worked great. As you can tell, I cut the end smaller and smaller as I went along. Definitely liked the smallest hole the best.
Hey, look there's me! I'm actually in a photo!
Can't have too many blowing out the candles shots.
Love seeing her birthday happiness.

Catherine! You're a miracle baker. That cake looks gorgeous, and I'm totally going to borrow the alternative pastry bag idea. I totally can't wait to be the mom who has a ton of awesome baking tips :-) First I have to learn some though . . .
