I'm not the least bit biased either, so don't even go there!!! LOL!!

This picture was taken by me and edited in Picasa 3 Beta!
That's Emily, my middle child!! She personifies everything a middle child is. She's certainly a sweetheart, though. She turns 4 in less than a week and it just doesn't seem possible. This year she wants a Backyardigans party. Now, here's the conundrum. Long long ago, on her very first birthday, I made the mistake of BAKING HER BIRTHDAY CAKES!!! No, I don't think this is a mistake, but it is a lot of work when I could just buy one. I've made her birthday cake every year of her life. I'd planned to not make anymore just cause it's a HUGE time and energy commitment. I didn't make Zoe's this year, but it just seems wrong to NOT make Em's cake, so I'm going to take a stab at it.
Now I'd show you a picture of Emily's 1st birthday cakes, but unfortunately I learned the back up your computer lesson the hard way. Serious tears were shed over those pictures. I did have them extracted, but the computer guy lost the cd. I do, however, have pictures of cakes from years 2 and 3. If you have any questions let me know.
2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday

Wish me luck that I don't lose it at her party. I'm an emotional mess when it comes to my kids and them growing up.
