Birthday Festivities

I think all families have that crazy aunt, well, in our family its Crazy Aunt Meg!!! Meg and Colby went to San Fran a few weeks ago and brought all of the neices back Chinese Dresses, I can't remember what they are called. Unfortunately, little Lucy was sleeping so she is missing from the cousin picture. Meg is sporting Grandma Marty's outfit that Grandpa John brought back from China, I think, 30 years ago. Thank goodness for Crazy Aunt Meg!!!

Next NFL superstar???

I'm a Baking Machine!!!

Our friend Brian turned 28 this past week. I voluntered to make his cake, a chocolate cake with chocolate cream frosting. I decided that instead of just leaving the cake with the frosting, I needed to decorate it. I know its hard to read, but it says "Giggity." Brian, Meghan (Brian's wife), and Drew all love the show Family Guy. Giggity comes from that show. I also decided he needed to have hearts all over the cake as well!!! Happy Birthday Brian!!!
Drew's grandmother and brother-in-law also had birthdays this past Sunday. I made my favorite cake, grandma's favorite as well. I also decided I needed to decorate that as well. Notice the pink and purple polka dots. I think its time to buy actual cake decorating supplies, instead of ziplock bags and maybe even take a cake decorating class. I had so much fun though!!! Happy 85th birthday Grandma and Happy 30th Birthday Anthony!!!

BIG NEWS!!!!!

So, I don't have any pictures of this but, ELLA TOOK HER FIRST STEPS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! The two of us were just playing in the living room this afternoon. I stood up and started to walk into the kitchen, there behind me was Ella, following me!!! She took three steps on her own!!! It was hilarious. I don't think she quite gets the whole walking thing yet. She was looking around like, "oh my goodness, no one is holding my hand!!!" She then took another 6 steps to try to get the baby monitor I was holding!! My sweet little baby is growing up WAY too fast!!! I promise we'll figure out how to post videos and put one up of her walking. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!
