Happy Birthday to our Princess

I went through my magazines yesterday

looking for this article in

Romantic Homes.

I wanted to show you this cast iron floral cake surround

it's just so beautiful and it holds candles also.

but alas I could not find the issue I was looking for and

I never realized how many magazines I have saved.

I think I must have at

least 200 or more...

Any way I got off track, today is Mimi's (Emilia)

Birthday!!!

and I would have loved

to have posted a sweet little picture of her

BUT

our 15 year old deleted all my picture files off of the computer

I am still trying to calm down.

This might take awhile.....

Now I remember how my parents felt

when I did stupid things!

When I picked them up from school yesterday I told

her I had found one of her birthday gifts that she could

open early.....she was not impressed

but I was ,look at how cute this is!

I paid $3

I'm going to put a bunch of pumpkins on it or around it...

after Mimi tires of driving it around the house

she warmed up to it quite fast

as did Cory!
