Birthday Love ♡
It's official, she's ELEVEN! ♡
At exactly 10:40, I lit her golden 11 candles and sang 'Happy Birthday' to her! Watched her make her birthday wish, and of course, saved the candles! This has been our little tradition that I started for her when she turned one, and although some years she has missed it, due to stupid school (ha), for most of her birthday's we've gotten to do it! Always a cupcake with candles and it must all be done at exactly 10:40, because that's the time she arrived into this world! This birthday was extra special this year though because it was her GOLDEN BIRTHDAY... she turned ELEVEN on the eleventh!

80
Today would have been my Poppa's 80th Birthday!
His birthday is always a bittersweet day, but especially this one.
It's always sad with him no longer here, but I try to do fun things on his birthday... like things he liked or things that remind me of him. I usually let Kenley pick out candy... when us children (I had a lot of cousins growing up) were over, he'd always go to the store and come back with CANDY for us to pick from. So I let Kenley pick out her own candy and I always pick out Peanut M&M's for myself... two reasons why, one because he loved nuts any kind of nuts and two because his nickname for me was "Peanut"... I've always been petite and so that's what he started calling me as a baby and it just stuck.
This year there was candy, but also champagne!
And I finally got to break in my Kate Spade champagne flutes!
His favorite color was blue, so we had blue icing cupcakes, complete with "80" candles for one! We did not light them though. We also made some biscuits... they were his absolute favorite things. I'm lucky because my Nanny taught me how she makes them, and even gave me her recipe for them, too!
We celebrated his life, and shed some tears, too.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Poppa!
Love, Peanut
