30 of 52



July is birthday month for our two youngest. Kara turned 10 on the 8th, and Kaela turned 8 on the 15th. We were out of town on a job during those dates, so their party got delayed. Sunday night we had a birthday supper/party for them.
Happy Birthday to my sweeties!





Nearly every year they've shared a party, and I usually have just had one cake for both of them, but this year they each wanted something different.

Kara picked Angel food cake, cheesecake filling/frosting with fresh fruit for hers

Kaela wanted "cake with frosting"....Hers was a chocolate cake, whipped frosting and then she decorated it it herself with a little play circus set I got her.



Dad has always lighted the birthday candles with our kids, and I have pictures of him nearly every birthday doing that. This year I am quite happy to say that because of this challenge we have a new tradition of having a picture of mom with the birthday child/ren!!

Kara and Kaela with their friends Hannah & Caitlyn, and cousin Katie

The girls and their new outfits. (Disregard the 7 on the birthday card....One Auntie got mixed up on the age, but it was such a cute card she couldn't not give it to her!! )

    Such pretty cakes. Neat that they could each have what they wanted as their tastes become their own. We have B-day this week, too... I'm behind on the planning. Got to get moving on that!
