Merinda saw on You-tube how to make a Pizza cake...

 the perfect birthday dinner for Aubrey!

  It was a lot of work, but Aubrey was happy, and that's all that mattered!

 We still made Aubrey a real cake too - confetti vanilla, which was her choice.

Sadly... 

Brittney missed Aubrey's birthday because she went back to school :( 

But she made Aubrey this beautiful birthday card before she left.

Other birthday cards from family and grandparents.

Homemade card from Merinda. 

Merinda gave Aubrey just what she wanted - earrings, 

Dry shampoo,

her favorite candy bars,

and her favorite chips!

  She even got a high-five out of it!

  Not sure what happened, but the mood turned so serious all of a sudden. Maybe something to do with Dad talking about future plans and responsibilities. 

Aubrey's birthday wouldn't be complete without some good Facetime with old roommates!
