So Kendall turned 8 over the weekend. We had a drama free birthday
party with mom and Kendall had a great time gymnastics-ing with her
buddies. Due to a cake ordering malfunction or misunderstanding by mom
we almost had a meltdown. What Kendall had requested as a Strawberry
Shortcake flavored cake turned into a Strawberry Shortcake themed cake.
She was a tad bit upset after finding this out. In order to save the
day I stopped at the brand new Cupcake place on the way home and low and
behold Saturday was not a strawberry day (who knew that cupcake places
had daily menus, so smart but so inconvenient in a Strawberry
emergency), so naturally I went home and whipped up some Strawberry
flavored cupcakes just in case I needed to prevent a complete meltdown
at the mature 8 year old party. Luckily the now extremely mature 8 year
old shrugged it off and enjoyed her Walmart cupcakes with her friends
as my cupcakes created a la "Cupcake Wars" waited in the car.
On the way home after the party we surprised Kendall by stopping back
at Gigi's Cupcakes to let her pick out her own birthday cupcake flavor. I
fair warned her that they did not have Strawberry that day. She picked
out a Banana Pudding Cupcake which was AMAZING. Highly recommend Gigi's
Cupcakes!
As an extremely mature 8 year old Kendall got to choose where to eat
her birthday dinner and naturally she chose Cheddar's. We had a nice
dinner together as a family and went home to enjoy our dessert. En route
we stopped at Dustin's favorite new store to purchase some items to go
with our Christmas Card photo accessories. We prepped for a photo shoot
and made the greatest Christmas Card photo ever! Can't wait to share it
with you. Look for it in your email inbox soon...
