HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!!!

I cannot believe my baby is 9! Jenna was so excited for this birthday, she had been counting down the days for months. We tried to make it special for her. First, we checked her out of school to go to lunch at Salt City Burger (her choice). She had a burger, onion rings, and a chocolate shake. She was in heaven!

She wanted cupcakes instead of a cake this year. I tried to copy an idea I saw, it didn't quite work out how I wanted, but with the twisty candles it was ok. Jenna liked it, so that's what matters.

For months before she was counting down days, then that day she was counting down the hours and minutes until 5:30 p.m. which is the time she was born. She stood by the microwave for almost 10 minutes waiting for the clock to change.

Here she is opening her gift from Aunt Cheryl in California. She is talking to her at the same time.

The rest of her gifts she opened later when family came over for dessert.

Here she is (being a weirdo as usual) blowing out her candles.
