fourteen

This was once upon a time.....
Really, it feels like yesterday.
This is today. Fourteen.
oh my goodness.
For her 14th birthday,
Maddi allowed me to experiment with her "take to junior high" cupcakes.
Personalized hostess cupcakes.
With cream-filled goodness

Joyous Maddi receives a stack of season tickets to all of the Real games. Woot!

Aunt Janene springs for the gorgeous Bakers cake.
Oh, for buttercream's sake!

This is the little ghetto cake that could.
Cheesy on the outside, tasty on the inside.
I have a long way to go before I can hold a candle to my mother's cake skills,
but Sweet Madji likes it anyway.
Little negotiates the blowing out of the candles.
Maddi is old enough now to share the fun.
Happy Birthday Magic!
We love you so much. You are our first treasure that came into our lives,
and we are lucky beyond measure to share your birthdays with you.
May you have many, many more!
Love,
Mom & Daddy

  1. Happy B-day Miss Maddi! You are so beautiful and growing into a lovely young lady. Now knock it off!! If you can't stop... just slow down a little. Honestly. Just yesterday it was "Baah Ram Ewe!" Now you're perpetually thinking about the elusive Mr. F* (heh heh)

    Hona... as for the 'ghetto cake'. Really. Be gentle with yourself. We can't all be cake architects. And remember- your cake efforts will always be better than mine :) It was delish and darling.

    *Sense and Sensibility Maddi... have you seen it?

  4. For some reason this post makes me weepy. Perhaps because I wish I could purse my lips and blow the passing of time away for you so that you could hold it all longer than I was able to.
    She is so beautiful.
