Kidnapping and Happy Birthday Kayla!!

Happy 15^th Birthday to Kayla!!!

Kayla turned 15 yesterday! I am always reminded of the 53 hours it took to bring her sweet spirit into the world. She had kind of a tough week and was even home sick one day. But I think yesterday, the actual birthday, was a success! She requested Pizza Ranch for lunch which was fun to go to as a family.

Then, her friends planned this HUGE surprise party! They came over in masks, stormed our house, and kidnapped Kayla. She let out this blood curdling scream and they attacked her with cans of silly string, put a hood over her head, handcuffed her hands, and literally carried her off to their car. They took her to laser tag, played games, and even made her a cake! Im so thrilled she has great friends here. The only bad thing is that we forgot to tell poor Alayna that they would be coming to kidnap Kayla. After the kidnapped Kayla, I looked back and saw poor Alayna who looked like she just had a heart attack! She literally thought we were being attacked! Note to self: Next time give Alayna a heads up!

White chocolate raspberry cinnamon rolls

The raspberry rolls were a huge success!! They are so yummy! However, I am reminded why I don’t normally make things from scratch. Its way too much work and it makes such a mess. But so yummy!
