twelve
Tuesday, November 03, 2009There were twelve balloons, her favorite soup in bread bowls, along with the requested lady bug cake (what? it doesn't look like a ladybug to you?) filled with mint chocolate chip ice-cream.
Zero to six...the speed of sound.
Six to twelve... the speed of light.
Happy Birthday, to my most favorite twelve year old in the whole wide world.

ReplyDeleteLeslie, I know how you feel. Was just looking at my oldest, who is 13 (soon to be 14) and I felt a little nauseous at how fast he was growing.
Hope your daughter had the very best birthday a twelve year old could ask for!
ReplyDeleteCake sounds delicious, the photograph of her holding the balloons is the best, and soup in bread bowls sounds perfect.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! If it was on the 3rd it was one day off of mine. November is a great month for birthdays. My little girl will be 8 on Sat. I can still close my eyes and be back in the hospital the night I had her just mesmerized by her!!

ReplyDeletePrecious! Brought tears to my eyes (especially because I have a six-year-old daughter like in your "before" photo!).
ReplyDeleteIs there anything faster than the speed of light? Cuz that's what I'm actually hoping happens with mine, from 12-18. Just sayin'. Happy, happy, though, to yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Libby! I LOVE the ladybug cake and it sounds tasty, too!
ReplyDeleteThat cake is adorable! Do you mean there was ice cream inside the cake? If so, how did you do that? Is it a Baked Alaska-style trick?

ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for a few years now, and I just figured out that we both have 2 boys with a girl in the middle.
Their birthdays are so close together, i can't believe it. Jack is going to be 3 on tuesday, and I think our oldest kids birthdays are less than a week apart too.
many thanks for that recipe link, I tried it last night (lightened a little) and indeed, it tastes just like the Panera soup! loved it!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!!!!!! What a delicious cake Libby has to eat!! WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a beautiful little six year old you have there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Libby!
I hope this year is a great one for you.
Happy Birthday Libby!
ReplyDeleteAh, sweet! What an adorable girl and perfect ladybug cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy CAKE AND BALLOON day.
ReplyDelete(I am SO going to have cake today because of this.)
