She's Such a Handful!

Therese has been longing to be a handful for a long time. Somedays we thought she already was [wink, wink], but she didn't officially qualify as a handful until Valentine's Day when she turned five.

Show us those five fingers, Therese!

Happy birthday, Sweet Valentine!

There's that handful!

Homemade, home-constructed birthday train cake.
The cars are filled with (from left to right) M&Ms, sour gumdrops,
Whoppers, conversation hearts, and crushed Oreos (for coal).
The wheels are gummy lifesavers,
and the smokestack is comprised of a couple of Rolos.

A dream cake for a sweet tooth.

Chugga, chugga, choo-choo!

Happy birthday, big girl!

A homemade cat scarf from Kathleen! 

Thank you, Leenie!
