To begin celebrating Sarah's birthday, last Sunday after church, we let her pick where she wanted to eat. She chose Gloria's...which was an excellent choice!
Of course, we had to end the meal with chocolate flan!
Thursday morning, we continued with our tradition of birthday cake pancakes! This year, instead of the normal glaze that I put on top, I added funfetti buttercream frosting! It was so yummy!
The kids love their special birthday pancakes, and I love making them!
When Sarah got home from school, she found some decorations.
This 11 made up of different pictures of her was so fun to put together! We loved looking at each one and talking about the different memories. Some are so funny!
We also wrote reasons why we love her and placed them on her bedroom door!
For dinner, she requested crockpot spaghetti again. This dinner was the highlight of our day. Although we always eat at the table together, there was something about this dinner that was even more wonderful than usual. Sarah laughed her big laugh several times. Jackson tried to barter with us on how many more bites of spaghetti he was going to eat before getting brownies, and then sat in my lap and fed me spaghetti! It was just perfect!
And then for dessert, she asked for my homemade brownies topped with homemade frosting! Jackson's favorite thing was signing "Happy Birthday" to his Sissy! I think he did it 4 times--in addition to the time we all sang it to her before she blew out the candles! He also kept saying, "I gonna be four; Sarah's gonna be eweven!" And then we'd have to explain that he'll be four in June!
Since we'd taken Sarah to the American Girl store last month for her main birthday gifts, we just got her a few little things.
Jackson even signed the card, and he was so proud of himself!
We still can't get over the fact that our baby's 11!
She's so sweet and sassy and perfect, and we love her more than anything!
Happy Birthday, Princess!
