Friday was the 10th and it was our Gotcha Day. Makana was sick with a fever from Saturday until Thursday, so I did not get to take the day off as I wanted to do because I missed work when she was sick. Friday evening we attmepted to make a cake, but I forgot to put the metal piece inside the pan and so when I thought it was done and turned it updside down to cool raw cake batter fell through the rack onto the counter. So we spent the day with Kathy yesterday, shopping and eating a girls lunch out. Then we bought what we needed and came home where we baked Halloween cookies and a new cake. Today we iced it with pink frosting and purple sprinkles and put the doll inside. It turned out pretty and tasted good, not to mention the fun she had helping me bake it. Makana cracked the eggs, poured in the measured ingredients and helped watch it cook. Today we took pictures with the cake and ate some after lunch. Gil is working a double shift today, which happened because he had to change his schedule because of my confereneces, so he will have cake when he gets home. It is hard to believe we have celebrated this 3 times now in the US and that Makana will soon be 4. Then I look back at her pictures to how tiny she was and even she can't believe it! I cleaned out her clothes in her closet today, moving all the 2T clothes to await a baby sister to wear them. She actually still could wear some of them now, even some of the 18 mo stuff, but she will be too big next summer and cooler weather has arrived. She loves to dress herself, so I have to put away things that are not weather approoriate! We are so very lucky to have this wonderful little girl in our family!
