Happy Birthday!!

Another September birthday.  The theme for this birthday is Wonder Woman.  We found a star cake pan.  The instructions with the pan included the flag, so that's what A wanted.  We also found some gold sprinkles to add.  The main course for the birthday lunch was a Strawberry Pasta with raspberry sauce.  It was OK - definitely a unique flavor.   The presents received include a Little People Wonder Woman Invisible Jet.  Yes, she's a little "old" for the Little People toys - but it was just so perfect!!  There was also a spaceman outfit for Barbie and a new watch.  Overall a great birthday!!!

Acts 2:37-39 "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?  And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For to you is the promise, and to your childre...
