E's Cookie Decorating 11th Birthday Party

 

We had E's birthday party over the weekend and it was so fun.  She had some friends come over and they decorated cookies.

We had lots of sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies with a few M&M and oatmeal raisins as well.  And the kids had lots of toppings to choose from: icing, chocolate chips, various sprinkles, marshmallows, gummy bears, M&Ms, and more!

A was in town very briefly and I love her college cookie that she made!

And B's snowman cookie was super cute.

E wanted an cookies and cream ice cream cake so David made her one!

And I found these super cute chocolate chip cookie balloons.

If you are looking for a fun and easy birthday party theme, cookie decorating works really well.  Happy Birthday E, hope you thought your party was sweet!

Happy 11th Birthday E

E is now 11!  We had a great time celebrating with her.  She had Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis for breakfast.

And Bev brought home donuts and kolaches from her volleyball practice!

We went to Red Lobster for dinner, E's favorite restaurant.

 

And E finished everything off with a yummy treat!

We love you to the moon E, I hope you know that you are very loved!

Happy 11th Birthday D

 

Birthday Girl

Happy 11th birthday to our lovely D! She brings so much joy to our lives and our family is truly blessed through her. She is a rainbow baby that has brought so much healing to my heart and soul.

 

Beautiful D

It’s been a tough few months with a weird elbow injury for her. There wasn’t a specific “incident” which made diagnosis trickier but she was finally diagnosed with Osteochondritis dissecans or OCD for short. It’s a condition that often affects baseball players and gymnasts. D will be out for this gymnastics meet season and to say that she is bummed is an understatement. She may require surgery but that’s unknown at the moment. Please pray for full recovery and wisdom for her and us as we navigate this injury. We truly covet your prayers! In other news, D got her braces off a few days ago so woohoo!

 

Happy Birthday D!  May your wish come true.
