It's a special day...

...for Diva. Today is her 11th birthday. 
Here's what we had for dinner
This is her birthday cake. I made the frosting, she added the food color.
She has just blown out the candles. Will you look at that expressive face!
And speak of expressive, what the heck is this?
This is the special plate we use for special people on their special days. If I can find it. And sometimes it is used as the cake plate. Diva lucked out today and got to use it for her dinner.
There was some debate about which of these expressions was more appropriate for a picture. Superman thinks the big wide mouth is a bit much. 
She got a Barbie doll from Sproing. Superman and I (Just me, really. It was a surprise to him, too) got her a set of headphones for her CD player and a CD of (wait for it....) Hannah Montana!! OK, she's 11. She was very excited about the CD. She asked for the headphones, so that wasn't a big surprise.

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!

How adorable.

"And speak of expressive, what the heck is this?"

That look, at least in our house, could mean "Put down the camera, Papa". I get it a lot :-).

She was very talkative yesterday when I called, and even happier about her 2 bday cards. Her present came out of the kiln today, so she gets that in a week.

I love The Look. Did she learn it from you?

All those looks are great ones...and probably only scratching the surface of a Diva's expressiveness. ; )

What a frothy and delightful looking cake...no way THAT's frosting out of a can! Nice work, dear...looks like a pretty wonderful celebration!!
