Here we are celebrating mom's 33rd birthday!  Daddy even dressed me in my I heart mom shirt in honor of mommy.  Not quite sure why, but daddy decided to make a birthday cake and put it in two bread loaves instead of a cake pan, so yes, even though this looks like bread, it is actually part one of a two part cake...  that's typical daddy though.  The cake was really good though!  Melanie cleverly named it "birthday bread" all by herself.

Somebody is getting very elaborate in her pictures.  It can take her a good 30 - 45 minutes to do a picture anymore because of all of her details.  Drawing is her favorite thing to do. It's the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning and the first thing she does when she gets home from school.

These are some signature Melanie designs from today.

  

A close up of the one she just drew.  (the brown under the grass is dirt she says).  

 This one isn't quite as obvious as to what it is as the last one, but she says it's a rocket ship with "feelers" she calls them.  I love how the suns always have to have a smiley face.  Also, the door in this picture has a smiley face.
