Happy Birthday!!!

11 years ago today there was a full moon and a crazy electrical storm.  I had the worst backache ever and, silly me, didn't even know that was what it felt like to be in labor.  It was 3 weeks too early after all.

K was born in the dark.  She came just as the power went out and before the generators came on.  Her name means "the most beautiful light".   I had no way of knowing just how much she would live up to her name every day. 

This year there is a full moon on her birthday and the thunder and rain is just now rolling in.  I think this is a sign that it is going to be a magical year for my Angel girl.

Even though Birthday parties are very scary when you are an Angel.... we always try it.

This year we had a little party with the grandparents, aunt Katie, Ethan, and Adia.  We went to the fish pond because that is K's favorite place in the whole world.  K made the cupcakes her self and grandma Helen brought pizza.

Here are the highlights of the day.

New flip flops were a hit... and a miracle.  K doesn't like new shoes normally.

K got bubbles from just about everyone!  They know what she likes.

K takes some time to love on Dad and pose for a picture while she waited for her cupcakes to be done.

and lucky me!  I get some loves too.

I love how she holds my face close to hers.  It makes my heart sing.

The cupcakes were finally done.  Didn't she do the best job?

She has to taste one to make sure.

Uncle Jim and Ethan figure out what the best way to eat a bread stick is.  (lots of sauce)

K shows everyone how to Plop rocks in the pond just so....   (see the red nail polish from yesterday?)

My friend Krista carved this of K... yes she is plopping rocks.  =)

Yellow is her favorite color.  Her cupcakes were way better than the store bought cake.

The Angel is HAPPY!    It is a good day!

It ended up being too windy to blow out candles so we cam back to the house.  By the time we got back the ice cream had turned to gooey goodness.

Happy Birthday my sweet Baby!
