Happy bday Alicia from Ben

Ben did a great job at wishing Alicia a happy 9th birthday today. He knew his sister well by picking out her favorite toy and by making an awesome card for her. He wrote/drew her card all by himself with minimal help from mommy too. Alicia said it was a good day :)

'Twas the day before Alicia's birthday

Sugar cookie making time! Alicia wanted to take sugar cookies for her
birthday treat at her baseball game tomorrow. So we had fun making
cookies today. I don't know what they liked more- The cookie dough or
the old hand mixer of mine that was going crazy trying to mix the
cookie dough up.
