happy birthday nanny!

maggie helped make her very first birthday cake today for her grandmother. strawberry cake, with strawberry icing and strawberries on top. i know, that's a lot of strawberries but that's what maggie wanted to make for her nanny, so that's what we did. hope you like strawberries mom! she was so proud and couldn't wait to eat the left over strawberries with the leftover icing. she poured all the ingredients into the mixer and turned the mixer on. she then helped ice the cake but got distracted by the overwhelming temptation to eat the icing. who was i to say no. it was a special occasion, right? she took so much pride in laying the strawberries on the top of the cake so they made a circle along the edge of the cake. she also made nanny a birthday card and painted a rock for her to go on her desk at work, though she was afraid that if nanny took the rock to work someone might take it off her desk. don't know why she is worried about that.
nanny, we hope you day had a blessed day !
thanks for being a great mom and nanny, or as mag's would say nan!

GREAT JOB! Maggie

I'm sure Nanny will just love the cake. I can almost smell it from here! It looks and smells wonderful - and I LOVE strawberries.

When you see your nanny, tell her "Happy Birthday" from Plant Lady in NC!

Thanks Christi for asking about My dad. He seems to be having some type of problem with what I suspect is kidney stones. He has had this before and the symptoms are the same. When the stone moves, it causes some bleeding. He is drinking lots of cranberry juice to flush out his system. Please remember him in your prayers.
