I had my camera ready when Marina walked in the door from school today. I knew many of her friends had baked treats for her and surprised her with them at school, so as has become tradition it seems at the Jr. High, they get to walk around all day with "stuff" from friends and feel special. (our school does NOT have lockers.)
Once she unloaded, she showed me all the yummy stuff her girlfriends made her. What sweet friends she has! She also had some really fun handmade cards!Notice the "M" cake... this one has a story.
Tess and Natalie made that on Sunday (after the final recital show - they are both dancers too!) for her and concocted a "surprise" bottom layer of the 2 layer cake! I didn't know this, and it's too bad Marina didn't want to share her cake with friends at school as was hoped for by the girls. She selfishly brought it all home to hoard and what a funny backfire! She cut a huge slice and took a big first bite. I heard her yelling from the kitchen, "oh! it's not cooked all the way!" - I went to investigate, and indeed the bottom layer looked "odd". The top looked fine, but that first bite tainted the whole cake and into the bin it went. Minutes later, my friend Kari called me to warn me about the cake. It's all "edible" she said, but the ingredients include pickle juice, pepper, tartar sauce, etc., etc. With all those added ingredients, that layer didn't rise normally, and gave the appearance of being uncooked. I laughed till tears came! Too bad her friends didn't get to witness her reaction! haha!
okay, this is just a weird photo Marina apparently took of herself - I often find this type of photo of either her or the dogs on my camera and on my phone. She just can't resist I guess. I'm including it so you too can enjoy her wacky personality. Look at those eyelashes! And... I think the braces might come off soon!

HAHAHAHA That is sooo funny about the cake. At first when I was reading it and thought it wasnt cooked all the way I thought well its the thought that counts. But when I read that her friends messed with it, that was hilarious. All I got to say to Marina is there Bdays will come soon and theres always Payback! haha
That's hysterical about the cake. It was nice of her friends, and so funny.
Those are son LONG eyelashes. How can it be possible that she's 14! I can't believe she's that old...time flies. She's getting more beautiful as she gets older.
Lindsey has all kinds of silly poses like this of herself too. They all seem to do it with their cell phones, etc.
