Baking for Breana

Breana and Debra wanted to bake for her birthday. They had fun studying the recipe book together and making their cake from scratch. I'm real proud of how hard they worked and how well it came out. :) It wasn't perfect but who cares? On top of it they made chocolate cupcakes and passed them around. We all sang to her, like three times that day! Ha ha. We sang to her when she woke up, then when the girls were done with the cake, and then when Charles came home later that night when we ate the cake. Generally, because of all the fun and "new things" that week, we all went to bed pretty late every night. It was okay though because we didn't mind the time spent together. In the last picture you see us singing happy birthday to Breana. I think baby Ashley was back sleeping in the bedroom.

I started thinking about people who have 10 kids and then I thought about all the ages that were in the house. If they were all mine. They ages were (counting the birthdays that are all coming this month and next month:

9 months, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12! I would have had to almost have one every year! Ha ha! Wow! I admire women who can do that. Amazing!
