Aubree

It's the 7th year in a row we've celebrated Nov 14th.
We have all the reason in the world!



Aubree wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday, and I was all for it!

I had to wait clear until I was 12 and that was with lots of begging.
The girls at Claire's gave her a big bear to hold while they did the piercing.

Aubree choose to have both ears done at once, which is good because if you are not a fan of pain, you may leave with only one ear pierced.

She was a little nervous....this picture is so funny, she was trying to be so brave!

She also chose to have her beloved "rainbow lizard" on her birthday cake. We had a local bakery "Layers" do the cake from a picture of her lizard.
They did a great job and Aubree loved it! The lizard was made of white chocolate and was eaten immediately.


As most children, after every commercial on Nickelodeon came on, she would tell me that is what she wanted for her birthday. She was more recently persistent about a "mommy cat that has kittens" and I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything toy related. Finally I was able to see the commercial and laughed so hard, because it was a "I can be a vet" Barbie! NO mention whatsoever of the Barbie! Only the cats! Ryan and I both said she would get it and not even play with the Barbie, and that is exactly what happened. Funny girl!

We love this beautiful, smart, funny and talented girl SO much and are so grateful for Nov 14th!
