Mini-Vacation Weekend

So this weekend was my Uncle Gerry's 60th birthday....my Aunt decided to throw him a surprise party. It was great & he didn't know it was coming! It was at a hotel with a little water park so all the kids (okay me too) had a great time playing.....I'll share more photos of the party later (I have to wait for people to email them to me - yes, I left my camera in my purse!)

-and no, you are not hallucinating. I did put a picture of myself in a swimsuit online!

Happy Birthday Girls

We had a party for our girls this

weekend......I made my first attempt at cake decorating as you can see in the first picture. It was supposed to be "topsy-turvy". The instructions said to use supports to hold the uneven (on purpose) layers together. But I made ours much smaller then the recipe so I omitted that step. You can see what an important step that really was. The top layer actually slide off when we walked out of the room.

The next picture is of the cake we bought at pick-n-save. $30 well spent!
