Another year older

I can't believe my daughter is 9 already! She is growing up way too fast! Seems like just yesterday she was a newborn.

Well, I didn't go all out with a dessert station for her like I did last year. We kept it simple this time since we have been so busy. She requested a popcorn cake this year so we made one together. We added plenty of M&Ms and chocolate chips (they melted and were oh so yummy). It turned out very good. I also made some simple brownies with fudge frosting as well. We also bought a Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake - the chocolate fudge one. It was so good! I think we might have to celebrate more birthdays with these : )



She loves American Girl. She had a list a mile long for different American girl items she would like to get. We got her a few things, but are hoping to teach her responsibility by having her save up some of her birthday money on the other things she would like. She has quite the assortment now, but she always manages to find something new she likes when they send the latest catalog. : ) I think she has already started her Christmas list


She not only turned 9 this year, but joined 4H as well. She won Honorable Mention for her yogurt and fruit Parfait. She called it her rainbow parfait. She did great for her first year! She wants to do either another food project, a wood working project or we've discussed her taking turkeys next year. She is definitely ambitious. We are so proud of her!
