Liesl turns 11!

Liesl turned 11 on Wednesday, and we celebrated her with favorite foods, presents, and cake!

We enjoyed challah French toast, mixed berries, and bacon for breakfast, with some presents: a puffy vest, fine-tipped markers. And then a birthday crown at school -- and more presents: caramels and raspberry chocolates -- before she went to jazz and ballet classes.

For dinner, steak, polenta, peas, carrots, Caesar salad, and baguette w butter, and some final presents: books and painting supplies! We talked to both Grandma and Grandpa Raab, and Popo and Bompy over Facetime, which was sweet.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for the birthday girl.
