Celebrating Sarah

Yesterday was Sarah's 11th birthday! We had a very fun day celebrating HER!

She woke up to a table-full of gifts...

...including some cute, silky pjs and some skinny jeans from Cissy. (Sorry I didn't get a pic of the jeans, Mom. They're very cute on her though.)

And some black, All-Star Converse. 

We were in Arkansas last summer on her birthday and she missed out on having a friend party. We don't have one every year but this year it was important to Sarah, so she invited some friends to go with her to the bead shop and make a necklace and earrings--they all turned out SO cute! I loved listening to them talk and giggle while they worked.

After the creative fun, we came back to our house for presents, pizza, and CAKE! 

Sarah requested an ice cream cake. I got this recipe from my neighbor last week and it was delicious!!!

A surprise gift from mom and dad...which was exactly what she wanted...a black EnV2 (which sent her daddy on a quest to several Verizon stores in Co Springs). 

Last night when I was tucking Sarah in bed, she gave me a BIG hug and said, "Thanks for making my birthday incredible, Mom." Those words meant more to me than all the money in the world. You're welcome, sweet-smiley-sunshiny-Sarah. I LOVE you!
