Belated Birthday

Today we finally had a chance to celebrate Malia’s birthday with my family. She had a cold and then she had some other kind of sick (11 days worth…not fun) and still wasn’t feeling well on her real birthday. But this morning she was happy as a clam (Just how happy is a clam anyway? I mean, they pretty much just sit around waiting to be eaten.) as we made her cupcakes. She knew it was her day to celebrate and she was singing about it all morning.


She loves marshmallows so using them to make cute flowers was perfect.


Once the cupcakes were done, it was time for church. Malia hasn’t been to church in a month due to sickness so she was thrilled to be headed there this afternoon. She stopped everyone she saw and told them, “Church! Nursery time!” All the adults who happened to be privy to her conversations couldn’t help but smile.

She still didn’t want to blow out the candles (I think the flames made her nervous) but she was pleased when she finally got to eat the cake.
