Today is Ladybug’s ELEVENTH birthday!

She started the day bright and early, so she could open her presents before Moose left for school:

She spent the day playing video games with Ryan, watching TV with us, and working on drawings based on what she’s learning in her new books. She also got to go to her last choir rehearsal of the year, where they had a pizza party. She brought some birthday cupcakes to share:

Once we were back home, it was birthday cake time. This year, Ladybug challenged me to make something new…a marble cake. Finding a recipe was more challenging than I expected, but I did finally find one, and Ladybug was very happy with the results! (She was also happy with her “trick” candles, which she chose herself…no trick there!)

Happy Birthday Ladybug!
