My 31st Birthday

Cory had to go out of town on my birthday, so it was up to Adilyn and I to get the party started. I had a craving for strawberry cake (I could blame the pregnancy, but I always love strawberry cake!) So, I decided to have Adilyn help me bake a cake. She loves to help, but unfortunately these days she makes more of a mess than she actually helps. It was fun anyway, and I was prepared to clean up the extra mess. While we were stirring and eating cake batter I became determined to teach her to say "Happy Birthday, Mama"! It took me many times of repeating syllable after syllable, but she finally got the Happy Birthday part. She was in a really good mood, especially for a Monday night, so it turned out to be an amazing birthday. She kept giving me birthday hugs, which was so sweet! I love that girl!
