I think that the day Joy was born is one of the most fantastic days of the year. I celebrate this occasion whether she can make the three hour trek home or not. This year, we got some beautiful cupcakes from the Bakerman and hit the road. Joy’s cupcake was special, with a heart and some bling bling. It was safe in the posession of Joy’s namesake. (Boo is named after her aunt, who is named after her mother, who is named after her aunt)

Boo, meet cupcake.
Our first stop was for a diet vanilla coke and a cherry sprite.
Joy loves all beauty shops, but Peggy's is high on her list.
Rah Rah Ree!
I'm not touching it!

Somehow we ended up far away from the mall.
Our mission: Herding donkeys.

Dad and Mason, both unsure of what they were doing.
More family to celebrate Joy's birthday and herd donkeys.

The keeper of the cupcake neglected his duties, playing instead
Sadly, it was the end of cupcake. It wasn’t the end of our fun though. We continued to celebrate Joy’s birthday with our cupcakes and a quick trip to the mall. It could have only been better if Joy had been here herself.
