A Gluten Free Birthday

8 years ago, a new person was brought into the world. There are times I wasn't sure we would make it to this point, but we did. 4 days ago, we celebrated Brittani's 8th birthday. We made a gluten-free, casein-free vanilla cake, with gluten free/casein free dark chocolate peppermint frosting, and she blew out the candle herself. She quite enjoyed her cake. Her birthday present is still in progress in my knitting bag, it is this jumper, in black with lime green skulls, as a tank top, rather than a dress.

Also for her birthday, we sat down as a family and watched Avatar, which she was quite enthralled with.
