Our try at a birthday cake

By Amity -
I decided I wanted to take a stab at making Emily's birthday cake this year instead of buying one.  After Emily requested a chocolate princess cake with vanilla icing I went exploring.  I baked the cake, made butter cream frosting and rolled out some premade fondant.  It was pretty fun.  John and I both tackled the decorations, we were pretty happy with the results!  Emily loved it which is all that mattered!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
