Rowan's 3rd Birthday Weekend!

Today is Rowan's third birthday!  Although the weather hasn't been the best, we made the most out of her special weekend.  First, we slept in and snuggled, as always.  This morning, I made her birthday cake, which was a vegan cheesy sausage cake "frosted" with cheezy sauce.  I topped it off with her name made out of vegan sausage (which I baked in the oven for a while first) and three raw sweet potato "candles".  Both of the girls were extremely excited about the cake, but she was such a good girl while posing for me.  A bit bewildered that she couldn't have her cake yet, but patient!     
Then the time came to finally eat some!
Everything happened so fast that before I knew it, they had both licked their plates clean. 
Then it was time to sit around for a while and let that cake digest. 
We also played outside for a while, took a walk and will be watching Pitbulls and Parolees a little later.  All in all, it was a good weekend.  Happy birthday my sweet little thick necked wiggle butt!  Mama loves you so much!!

  6. BTW, I hope my last comment isn't offensive. I do like dogs--I just seem to naturally have more of an affinity for cats.

  7. Melissa- Rowan says thanks! :)

    foodfeud- Yes, we adopted both of them when they were just a few months old. They were from shelters in other states where they were going to be put to sleep. :(

    Ximena- Well, you certainly make up for it with all of the time you spend with Elli! You're the best mama. :)

    Andrea- Thank you! It was a very fun time.

    Happy Go Lucky- Thank you!

    Stacy- Not offensive at all! That's sweet of you to make sure, though. :) They are both naughty at times, but are real sweethearts.

    Thank you so much for your comment- it's really nice to know it's not just me. It's just hard not to take things personally you know? I really appreciate it, thank you.

  12. Claire- They don't listen that well all of the time, but they are good girls. :) It is really hard not to take things personally. I totally get that!

    Rose- thank you! They really seem to be enjoying the cake. I'm greeted with much excitement when I bring it out of the fridge.

    vava- I took a ton of shots while she was eating her cake, but that was the only one that wasn't a black blur! lol

    Lori- Thank you! I try to come up with something different each year for them. Hopefully I keep getting ideas!

  17. Laurie- She kept hesitantly inching her mouth towards the cake, but then would quick stick her nose up in the air when I would tell her to leave it. So bewildered, but so cute!

    DVR- We would love to share the cake with your pack! I'm glad to see you around again. :)

    Vegan Burnout- Rowan sends many kisses right back at Lucy!

    Michelle- Rowan says thank you! :)
