Yesterday we had the opportunity 2 celebrate our daughter, Aaliyah's 9th birthday. :D We had our families & friends over 4 a small dinner along w/ice cream & cake afterwards. Aaliyah's request 2 us earlier this month was if I could take her shopping cause she was in 'DYER' need of some new clothes since she was growing out of her current ones. So Hoko & I took 2 the discount stores & bought Aaliyah some new clothes as well as 2 pairs of shoes. :D She was in need of new shoes as well since our dog, Titan, took it upon himself 2 pee in her shoes. Lol. So GRRRROOOOOSSSSSSS!! And I really mean that!! Lol. We washed her shoes in the washer, but it seemed 2 come out a little ruined. We found some GREAT deals & didn't have 2 spend a ton on her stuff.
As one of my goals 4 the New Year, I've decided that we are going 2 make all of our kids birthday cakes 4rom here on out. :D It not only saves us so much money, but it's so much more sentimental & I've noticed that our kids take so much more PRIDE in knowing that we actually took the time 2 make it 4 them. It's great!! :D With that said, I took 2 the WORLD WIDE WEB 2 look up a cake 4 Aaliyah. Since I'm all about the Food Network, that was my 1st stop. I was browsing away when I came across an ice cream cake. Since Aaliyah's getting older, there was no 'PRINCESS' cake option. So I thought the ice cream cake would be perfect!! :D I quickly looked over the directions & it seemed pretty simple enough so we did a test run 2 days before her bday. It came out GREAT & we ended up making her 3 of them since they do come out a little on the small side. Lol. Her AWESOME auntie Taeao came w/a HUGE bday cupcake 4 her & it was so TIGHT!! :D She made it herself along w/all the decorations on the outs that she did w/different color frosting. :D We love & appreciate all of our families & friends that were able 2 come out & celebrate w/us. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AALIYAH!! You'll never know how much you're BEING in our lives has helped us CHANGE 4 the better. :D We love you so much!! :D
