Birthday Party

Yesterday our DD celebrated her 11th birthday.  We made her meal of choice, fettuccini alfredo and a zebra cake for dessert.  My layers in the zebra cake didn't come like I had hoped, but I learned from one who makes cakes- alot- that I needed to have let each layer settle before adding the next.  I guess I was in too much of a rush.  But, since I promised to take pictures...

Our gift this year was to go and get her ears pierced.  Sigh, she's getting too big.  Here are pictures:

We also ended the night by spending most of her clothing money she received for her birthday as well.  There are a few more items we hope to find, but that will happen on a later date.
