A Good Reason For CAKE!

Or Cupcakes I should say! (I tried to make the sprinkles say "1 1/2" but it didn't turn out quite like my imagination saw it.)

Yesterday was Anna's half birthday! She turned 18 months!



"What's a half-birthday?" you ask. Well, it's just an ordinary day that no one knows about where you are officially HALF a year older! It's just a good excuse for cupcakes really!

When I found out I was pregnant with Anna my original due date was December 21. Since my mother was five days late having ALL of us I just knew I'd be five days late with Anna and her birthday would be right at Christmas! (I was five days late but my due date changed to the 11th.) I decided right then and there that on her "half-birthday" we would do something special. So we've started the tradition... and YES.. I'll continue the tradition ALWAYS for ALL of my kids. It's fun and special for them.. and me too! It's really nothing much.. just a family meal (of their choice when they get older), cupcakes and one small surprise!

Anna had no idea what was going on but she LOVED her cupcakes (especially this morning.. which is when the picture above was taken) and even more so she LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her "bubble-bath baby"!





She really loved giving "new baby" a bath!







"New Baby" did everything Anna did for the rest of the night.. bath, milk, bed.. and so far has done EVERYTHING today too!!

She's a happy little 18 month old with the happiest parents ever! We count our blessings daily!

Y'all have a HappyDay and we'll be back soon!
