We had lots of good things happen over the past few months. The best happened today: Sabrina was baptized. Sabrina turned 8 years old a little over a week ago. We had a great little family party with our best friends the Atkinsons. Sabrina chose to have microphones for her birthday cake. Wendy and Moira did a fantastic job with the dragees.
Brayden was not to be outdone so he chose to have ghosts for his 4th birthday cake three days later. Of course these birthdays happen about a week after Christmas so we have been pleasantly filled with refined sugar for some time now. :) The ghosts were especially popular since they are made with an old-fashioned doughnut hole, covered in whipped cream, with mini-M&M eyes. What's not to love? Cupcakes covered with frosting, sprinkles, doughnuts, cool-whip, & candy? Good thing we made two dozen.
Sabrina was a little nervous at first, but after the ordinance she said she felt so happy she was giddy. Thanks to all the family and friends that came to support her in her big moment. Mom and Dad were so proud we were popping our buttons in between getting all "blubbery". Moira and Brayden were very reverent and didn't have to be reminded once about appropriate behavior. It really was a powerful experience. Thanks for being such a great example to us all, Sabrina.
