Jackson seemed to enjoy it also.

This was a RETAKE of a photo from a prior blogpost.

This was the photo from our trip in 2011 (only 4 short years ago).

Sophie Thompson is 11 Years Old!!

The requisite pink princess sheet cake: #delicious!

She finally managed to blow out ALL the candles

and seemed quite pleased with herself...

Speaking of Sophie, I recently discovered this cute photo from the winter months.

It is quite the outfit if you realize she has her leg braces on under all those clothes!

Also, this car seems like it could be the future Sophie-mobile!
