Rather than give her presents for her 17th birthday, Kayley asked us to donate to some families who are trying to raise enough money to pay the international adoption fees so that they can take their children home. She told us there are things she wants, but she said these families and children would appreciate the money much more than she would.
On her birthday we watched The Penny and ate breakfast for dinner- stuffed omelets jam-packed with cheese and mushrooms and veggies, bacon with maple syrup, fresh strawberries, and cranberry scones. Kayley baked the cake (it was some sort of chunky fruit and nut cake but not like the heavy, old-fashioned "fruitcake") and Mama decorated it. We ate it alongside Andrea's homemade banana ice cream.
