Marianne turned 11 on April 9th.
Here are some before and after shots:Before:
And after:
I swear, she went from the first picture to the second picture in like, one week. I don't know how it was possible, but there you have it!
Here are some pictures of the big celebration in her honor.
She really wanted a lava lamp which kind of surprised me, but she absolutely loves it!
This picture reminds me of why I am the picture-taker of the family. But, Marianne is so cute I just had to post it anyway.
She wanted a turtle cake. It's actually a turtle cupcake cake.
I LOVE this girl! At this rate, however, she won't be a "girl" much longer. Thanks for making my life sweeter. :) Love you Marianne!
That cake is so cute and looks so good! She still has those dimples from her baby picture! So cute! just think, next year she'll be in young womens!
ReplyDeleteWow, I hope my kids don't grow up that fast. ha ha And you're so creative with cooking and baking. Richard's mentioned how amazing you are in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pictures! Our grandkids are growing up faster than our children did. Times passes so quickly. You have a beautiful family. So glad we live close to be able to watch them grow up.
