Jessica's Birthday

My oldest baby, the one who made me a mother, turned 9 today. It can't be. I feel it was just yesterday that I held her in my arms for the first time. She was perfect, and I was overjoyed at the wonderful little spirit that I had been given. She has grown, A LOT, since then. She is now a beautiful, sensitive, loving, caring...young lady. I am grateful for her, and the fact that she is a wonderful big sister, and helper. Happy Birthday to my "baby" Jessica!
To celebrate Jess had a sleepover last night with her friend Jocelyn. They played wii, decorated the house, made chocolates and chocolate covered popcorn, made pillowcases, and watched a movie. I turned out the lights at 12am...today she was exhausted, but I think it was a fun sleepover!
Today we had the cousins over for cake and ice cream. Here they all are wishing her a happy birthday after she opened her gifts. (Thank you for the great gifts!)

Jess requested a guinea pig cake this year. This is what I came up with, I think it came out pretty good. She definitely liked it!

Here she is after seeing it!

The guinea pig was modeled after her own 'pig' butterscotch.
