Madison Turns "10"

My second child, and only daughter, Madison, just made 10.  In designing her birthday cookies, I wanted to represent those things that are very special to her.  She has a heart a mile wide when it comes to her love of  all things of the animal world.  She is always the one wanting to pick up strays, feed the homeless kitties and doggies, and willing to do whatever it is that God's little creatures may need.  I'm convinced that she is an offshoot of St. Francis of Assisi, and her mission in life is to take over where he left off!  Although we are the proud owners of 16 chickens, 10 cats, 5 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats, 1 dog, 1 fish, and 1 duck who thinks she is another chicken, I limited the "animal" portion of her cookie platter to cats and dogs.

Of course, I had to add some birthday themed cookies to the mix.
