Birthdays








We had a great time last weekend having a birthday for our Mimi and Dave's sister Kim. We had a great dinner at the Olive Garden and then enjoyed a cake that I made myself from scratch-very domestic right?! My sister Mary gave me the term "rustic" which she uses to describe homemade cakes. I think that described this one to a T! lol Nevertheless we still had fun. Mimi got a wonderful vase for her birthday and then we also gave her a pumpkin soup tureen, which you can enjoy in some of the pictures. It's always fun to be with family and I have become even more grateful for my wonderful "second family" this past year. What a blessing they are to me!!
