birthday celebrations

There has been much celebrating going on around here. My birthday, last Friday, Sarah's birthday this coming Wednesday, school starting (okay i don't think Sarah is celebrating that one), summer, family, etc.

Celebration is only complete with one thing: cake.

I have to admit that this icing didn't make it anywhere but the trash. But we practiced! Two weekends ago Barb and Joe came down and Nana came up from Georgia and we ate delicious food, hung around, waited for the next meal time and then ate again =) Oh yes, and we practiced our icing skills.

And got some icing on my nose...

This past weekend Grandpa and Frances came up from Georgia to spend the weekend. I officially turned 20 while headed down 95 towards the airport. Alison slept over Thursday night and we had a tasty irish soda bread for breakfast. Lunch was wraps & watermelon and dinner was black bean burgers with carrots and pineapple rice. So tasty! Mom even made me a delicious coconut carrot cake for dessert. Yummmm.

Okay, so this whole post was about food. Pictures of the cake to come.
