Rewind: Zoë's 9th Birthday

I made the cake the night before when some friends (The Arick's) were over. We had fun together baking the cake, and then, since I had an "extra" cake from the batter, and I wanted to see what the zebra stripe would look like, I Zoë got two birthday cakes...

What was the wish?

Zoë's 9th Birthday Cake:
Zebra stripes in and out with chocolate.

Zoë was super excited to get a book on how to twist balloons. We found many balloon flowers and balloon puppies around the house over the next few weeks.

A big sister knows, it's just easier to let excited little sisters help her unwrap presents.

Megan was super happy to celebrate Zoë's birthday.

When are we having cake?

Look at this handsome man! He sure does great work as a dad.

"Smiley" isn't her middle name for nuttin'

Miranda picked out these plates for herself (for her birthday in another 9 months) but decided to share them with Zoë on her birthday.

Nine Years Old!
Happy Birthday, Zoë!
