Miriam the 9-year-old with her cake.
Miriam said she wanted a cake with the sun setting over the ocean. Okay?! Ana and I did our best (and added some candy decorations we received at the school carnival.
Miriam eating her Caesar salad, pasta with marinara sauce and Grandma's breadsticks for dinner.
Rather than making and smashing a pinata, Miriam opted to hide goody bags around the family room for her sisters and cousins to find. The weather was too cold to do it outside.
Miriam opening presents. She received the LEGO set and a Marauder's map bandana from her family. She received $25 hidden in a pickle and mustard sandwich from Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis. She received a rock art kit and a kids' charades game from Grandma and Grandpa Scott. She received a LEGO Friends set, a Harry Potter LEGO minifigure and sour watermelon gummies from Aunt McKall and Uncle T.
