Happy Birthday Jade-e-bugs!

Saturday was Jade's 11th birthday. I just love this girl so much! She is absolutely amazing!
We had her party at Classic Skate Fun Center. Olivia, Morgan, Allie, and Natalie were there, and Jade was in heaven


She won a prize on the birthday wheel.
spent 60 seconds catching all the "money" she could grab in the money cube.
I didn't take any more pictures of the girls after that, because I was having too much fun "attempting" to skate or going down the waterslides with them. :)
On Sunday, we had a big family party to celebrate Enos and Jade's birthdays. (only 2 days apart). We made an assortment of sushi, gyoza, Heinzen cake, and this wonderful ice-cream cake I took off a friend's blog. (thank you Karli!)
Enos and Lindsay are leaving next summer, so this was the last combined birthday celebration the two will have for many years. :(

Here is a closeup of the yummy ice-cream cake that was incredibly easy to make. I will post the recipe later.

Happy Birthday, Jade! I remember seeing her as a new baby, all swaddled like a sweet little papoose. How time flies...

I look forward to the recipe for the ice cream cake. You should post the Heinzen Cake recipe as well. I didn't know there was an official cake!

way to go Jade... i loved her answers... they were so surprising... well except for the sushi answer on about 4 of them... hehe... the woman LOVES her sushi, as does her aunt. We had so much fun at your house the other night (like we always do)... thanks for being the coolest family couple we can hang out with somewhat regularly! :) love you guys.

That cake looks so yummy. Looking forward to the recipe. I love these questionaires. Glen read one of yours one time and did one of our kids. It's so fun to hear the answers they come up with.

And you look supercute by the way. Did I ever mention your short hair is so fun?!
