Miss Morgan turned 4 on Friday. What a big girl she is getting to be. We celebrated on Friday and had a great day. The big kids were out of school, so we did some fun things. We took everyone to Red Robin (with library coupons) for a birthday dinner. She thought that was pretty fun.
We celebrated tonight with cake and presents. She wanted a princess cake. That seemed easy enough, I thought. So I bought a barbie, and thought we were good to go. Well, I didn't quite make the cake tall enough for her legs to stand up straight in the cake. This Barbie didn't have knees that bend. So, as usual, I had to improvise.
I find myself doing that a lot. I have good ideas, great intentions, but things usually don't work out just right. My middle name should be "wing it".
Morgan got a nightlight, lip gloss, and a shopping cart with food in it. She thought that was pretty neat. She also got some money to go to the store with. She should have fun with that!
We sure love our Morgan. I called her my baby girl the other day. She told me that she is not a baby, she is a "kid". I guess a kid is better than a young lady. They grow up so fast!

Missed it the first time. We read through your post and saw the "wing it" legs and just laughed and laughed. You are an awesome mom Maria- even if Cray looks at you crooked sometimes.

I am still laughing/crying over your cake!!! Too funny! Happy Birthday, Morgan! We are exciteed to see you for conference this weekend!
That looks like it was a fun party! Barbie looks like she had some sore muscles after that!. I'm impressed that you even agreed and attempted to make a princess cake. Nice job!
Hey I think your cake looks great! Just think how much MORE cake you would have to have if you made her stand up! Sorry we'll miss you this weekend. Have fun!
wow, I can't belive how grown up she looks.
I thought it was just a ballerina cake until I read your description.
Great job!
Happy birthday Morgie! The cake looked (and tasted) great, Maria. Good job!
Haha! I love the cake! That's hilarious! Happy Birthday Morgie!
