Why yes, as a matter of fact . . .


We did have another birthday amidst the polar vortex!
(My fingers were just so cold I couldn't enter the post!!!)

Did you know she could have been taking driver's education already for three months???
Did you know she graduates high school in three and a half years???
Do you know how quickly three and a half years goes????
Oh.My.Goodness!

Happy Birthday, Lara!
(-:

This year Lara asked for a peanut butter cake.  The Pioneer Woman was top of my google list and it turned out she just turned my standard Texas Sheet Cake (William's usual cake) peanut buttery.  I didn't have a lot of time to consider decorations and knew I wanted to top a cake with fresh flowers, just wished I had put different candles on it at least, ha! She requested lasagna for her birthday dinner so I made a traditional one with a red sauce, sausage and spinach (nice to sneak that in there because you can't even taste it) and a chicken, spinach, artichoke lasagna with a white sauce.  Of course I tried new recipes and would have liked them a little saucier, but I sure liked the flavors.

I was going to crop this photo and then I spotted that silly, little hand waving in the bottom corner, haha.  No way I'm taking that out.  I remember trying to swish away that funny boy, out of his big sis's picture (she's been into the Beatles…and skinny pop…lately), but he won didn't he! (-:


Aww, our percussion playing, piano playing, cross country running, French speaking, all A's student with her fresh new haircut, what a gal! Here's to another great year of adventure, learning and growing!
