Half of 16 Candles

Its hard to believe it, but several weekends ago we celebrated the 8th birthday of one Miss Annika Caston. It was an intimate event wherein there was the customary exchanging of gifts and consuming of frosting covered baked goods. And soon after said birthday, we all gathered together again for her baptism.

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped to make Annika's baptism an extra special event. Its funny, my own birthdays never seem to bother me or cause me to suddenly notice how fast time is speeding by, but watching how fast my kids are growing kind of freaks me out.
