My Big Girl

We had a great weekend. It was Lexi's birthday on Saturday, so we started the fun family celebration on Friday night. Lexi has been asking for a while if she could get her ears pierced and was very excited when her Daddy gave her permission to have them done for her birthday, so that is the first thing we did on Friday night.

We started Saturday morning off with phone calls from family, and a big pile of Waffles! YUM!

Then the girls and I had a tea party! IMG_6200

After Daddy got up from his morning of sleeping (he worked all night) we went as a family to roller skate. We had SO much fun. It was neat for Justin and I to skate with our little bunch in between us. It brought back so many memories of the days while we were dating. We used to roller blade all the time together. It was neat to watch our girls, and hold hands and laugh about those fun times. It was a GREAT day.

Then today at our little bible study we had a birthday cake for her. (Luke what do you think of our cake making skills? Nothing compared to your football cake of course :)) She wanted a fairy cake, and we put our heads together and came up with this. It was a blast. One day I will venture outside of a pan cake, but I need some more practice!

There was no skill involved.
If you watch TV enough you can do
anything. That cake is awsome...
