Miriam is Nine!

Time flys!  Jake still thinks she is four, but my littlest girl is growing up quick!  Here are some highlights:

 This is Miriam's cake, which she wanted to look like a watermelon.  And it did, until, while writing on it we had a frosting explosion and now it just looks like a watermelon with a flower garden in it.  Life.

There was much screaming opening the gifts.  So fun to have her excited.  This is a Barbie.  I knew it was the right one when it was holding two of the things Miriam asked for this birthday: a cell phone and a laptop. (Please!  The other thing was a water bed....).  Happy Birthday, sis!
