I turned 31 on Friday and Justin turned four Saturday. Needless to say, it's been a busy week! We had a party with Will's family and some of mine. The preparation was a little hectic, but the get-together was great. We really are blessed to have so much family around. Uncle Doug said that it took Justin 57 MINUTES to open all his presents. That is one lucky boy! Thank you to everyone for coming and sharing our special days!!My neice (she's only 17!) made Justin's birthday cake. It might seem like a funny looking cake, but when given the choice of any cake he could think of, this is what he chose. It was so original. We just had to have it done for him. Thanks Emily!!!
My big kids are away on a road trip with Grandma Carroll right now, but we did have cousins come to the party that Justin could play with. They (and some of the adults) really seemed to enjoy the pool. It has been VERY HOT here. In fact, it was 111 degrees the day of the party! Yuck!!! I was feeling very grateful for good, strong air conditioning, and nicer weather once the sun went down. It was much more pleasant to sit around the pool after dark. The lights in the pool looked really cool too!
Happy Birthday to both of you! Your kids are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe are waiting for our angel in Korea to join her forever family!
I'm stumped - he wanted only soy milk instead of cake or is that actually a cake that looks like soy milk? Or am I missing something obvious...? At any rate, Happy Birthdays all around!
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a cake that looks like soy milk. Pretty cool, huh?!
ReplyDeleteMy niece made it.
That is so cool. Did she screen the carton on fondet sheets?
ReplyDeleteShe had the carton color copied on rice paper at a local grocery store. They use food grade inks. This is also how "photo" cakes are made. Pretty cool!
