Sara is 12

This is the cake Lena made for Sara's birthday. I left to run errands and asked Lena to bake a cake for Sara. I told her I would help her decorate it when I got home. Imagine my surprise when I came home to this. Those are roses on top with little leaves. I asked her how she made the leaves. She said she found some outside and dipped them in chocolate.


When I asked Sara what she wanted for her birthday, she said she wanted cake in her face. I asked her why and she said she wanted to be like Eli in her birthday picture.



So I complied with her wishes and smashed cake in her face. She loved it!






She wanted her favorite, Chinese food for lunch.


And to go skating with our friends and family.




Sara is such a sweetie and all the little kids adore her. They are constantly crawling all over her and begging for "Sara." She loves it!


At the end of the day she gave me a big hug and kiss and told me thanks for being the nicest mom in the world. She said this was the best birthday of her life.

I feel blessed beyond words to have found this little sweetheart and can't imagine my life without her.

    Amy - I cried when I read this! Seriously. I cried a river!! This is such a huge and awesome attachment piece. She wanted to be YOUR baby and she found a way to do it!! What a wonderful experience. My daughter just turned 12 on Thursday and went to Young Women's for the first time yesterday. Such a fun age!
