a different kind of art

A BIG Happy Birthday to our little Tiara
Can't believe she is SIX!!!
She wanted a cake with horses on it so this was my attempt...I love to surprise the kids but this year she wanted to help. I can't deprive the birthday girl, can I? so of course I let her go to town...then she sat perched on our kitchen stool watching me add every itty bitty bit of icing. She was just beaming.
You've got to love how easy it is to make a kid feel really special.
I saved the horses for the big reveal though, and my dear girl was as pleased as can be.
She told me it was better than the cakes at store and said
" you sure put a lot of love in this one for me mama!"

Here's to cuteness, licking the beaters and being 6 years old

Ah Happy Birthday Miss T. You've seemed so happy and contented as always CD darling and I miss you so. Cassie and Tiara are both six now! You know I find her little face the sweetest ever and all these pictures of her lately have just made me SO happy.

I love you.

So excited to find your blog...Love it and all of your creativity in Ck...always.

Just curious, what kind of camera do you have that takes those amazing pictures in a Kindergarten classroom? Mine always look bleached out when I take pics in my kid's classes?

Thanks!
