Happy 11th Birthday F

 

 

This guy turned 11 yesterday!  Super late last night to be exact.  We love him to pieces :).

 

Blowing out his candles!

Merry Christmas 2024

 

Our Tree Christmas Morning

I'm a little late to post but I hope you had a fabulous Christmas!  It has been fun to see the kids bake, decorate cookies, play games and just hang out as a family.

Birthday Cake for Jesus looked like a present this year

I love how the kids Christmas PJs turned out - they have Sarge on them!

And a silly one for fun!

In progress decorating, the kids are getting good at this.

I can't believe 2024 is almost at an end!  We are headed to a movie in just a bit.  Hope 2025 is phenomenal for everyone!

Happy Birthday E (And Me)

We celebrated E's 13th birthday and my 47th this month!  E had a few close friends come over and stay the night and we had a fun little family gathering for mine.

David made E a fun cake

And he made me my favorite chocolate cake!

I love the Fall!  I hope you are enjoying the slightly cooler weather, I know I am!

E's Cookie Decorating 11th Birthday Party

 

We had E's birthday party over the weekend and it was so fun.  She had some friends come over and they decorated cookies.

We had lots of sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies with a few M&M and oatmeal raisins as well.  And the kids had lots of toppings to choose from: icing, chocolate chips, various sprinkles, marshmallows, gummy bears, M&Ms, and more!

A was in town very briefly and I love her college cookie that she made!

And B's snowman cookie was super cute.

E wanted an cookies and cream ice cream cake so David made her one!

And I found these super cute chocolate chip cookie balloons.

If you are looking for a fun and easy birthday party theme, cookie decorating works really well.  Happy Birthday E, hope you thought your party was sweet!

Happy 44th David

We finally got to celebrate David's birthday yesterday!  With all the sports and activities we had to wait until the weekend.

 

Inside the cake

The girls and I made him a cake, 1/2 lemon and 1/2 strawberry and A used David's cake airbrush kit (he got it for Christmas) to decorate it.  I love the way it came out.

With 44 candles! 😏

 

Happy Birthday David!  You keep this family going and we love you bunches!

B's Sweet 16 Party

 

B with her cake!

 

B had a fun sweet 16 party over the weekend.  A bunch of her friends came over and decorated cookies and cupcakes and hung out - she had a blast.  I say it all the time, my kids are growing up fast.

 

David made B a chocolate cupcake cake and I love the way it came out.

D's 12th Balloon Themed Birthday Party

 

D turned 12 last Friday!

We celebrated her yesterday with a fun "balloon" themed party!  I'm not sure of the exact number of balloons that were in our home but I know it was a lot 🎈😉.

Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us!

D, you make our life more fun in every way and we love you so much!

Happy 5th Birthday G

This guy turned 5 yesterday!  The caboose of our family always has us laughing and we love him so much ❤️.  It was a birthday filled with G's favorite foods.

G wanted donuts for breakfast.

 

He had Chick-fil-A for lunch.

 

And we had Wendy's for dinner (I had a meeting so I wasn't here to get that picture).  We had a small Panda cake as well.  We have a Panda Party planned for this Sunday to celebrate with more friends and family.  Happy Birthday G - I hope you have the best year yet!

Happy Father's Day 2021

 

David and his cake!

I love the Father’s Day cake the older girls made for David 🌮. We celebrated in style tonight with Tex-Mex (which is doubly awesome because it's not only David's favorite but it was my Dad's too so it's special to honor his memory as well). My kids could not have a better Father and I’m so thankful for everything he does 🥰.  We love you David.

Happy 43rd Birthday David

David finally caught up to me and turned 43 over the weekend!  We actually got to go on a little adventure and attend a family wedding.  It was so nice to see some familiar faces and the wedding was absolutely beautiful {Congrats Brent & Tara}.  While we were gone the kids made David an 8 layered birthday cake!  They did an amazing job and it taste delicious 😏.  Inside they had 8 different shades of blue and I thought it came out so well.  It was fun to celebrate David as a family when we returned home!

Above you can see what the slices look like, they're so pretty!

A made some origami ice cream cones for decoration and they are adorable.

David also enjoyed an Italian Cream Cake on his birthday right before the wedding {thanks Jane!}.

Happy Birthday David!  I could not imagine my life without you 😚.
