Birthday Break

Today is Sophia's 5th birthday. I sang happy birthday to her in the car while taking her out for a treat.

Last year for Sophia's birthday we had an early morning Iggy Ambassadors shopping party at the newly opened Scraps Dog Bakery and had birthday cake from Whole Foods for breakfast. This year her b'day is on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday so we had to have a more private celebration.

We stayed close to home and went to the Alaska Junction to visit Cupcake Royale. Unfortunately they are no longer allowing 4-legged children into the shop, and Sophia doesn't do well tied up outside - nor do I consider it prudent to do so since she is friendly and very portable and I worry someone might take her. So after a nice walk I returned her to the car briefly so I could go back and get her a "Plain Jane" baby cake (vanilla) and something for Mommy, a "Triple Threat" chocolate cupcake.

They come packed in an upside down cup with lid and upside down deli container respectively. Quite ingenious really.

We came home and I made some tea and then I fed Sophia her little birthday treat first. And then she sat and stared at me hoping for bits of my chocolate cupcake. Not happening, birthday girl! No more chocolate for you!

Happy birthday to my lovely Sophia! Our next celebration will be her adoption anniversary, which is on May 14th, when I will have had her in my life for three years. I can't imagine my life without her!
