Happy Birthday, Gabriella!

Gabriella turned 6 this year... Can't believe this sweet little baby with a mohawk has suddenly turned into a beautiful little girl with a crazy head of red curly hair. She is fiercely independent but has the most caring heart I've ever met in a little kid (she spends her recess playing with the handicapped girl on the playground). We can't wait to see how her life unfolds!

And yes, my mother-in-law and I made that Barbie cake. It was so bad that it was hilarious, but Gabriella didn't care. She celebrated with a quick party that night with her neighbor friends and a new big girl bed. (She is so small that she was still sleeping in a toddler bed.)
