Happy Summer Birthdays!

Elijah is TWO!



Shortly after Eli's birthday, he deleted the pictures off my camera, so we don't have any real clear pictures of the cake anymore. This was my first attempt at a fondant cake. The fondant didn't taste very good and we all peeled it off to eat the cake and frosting underneath. My older children requested no fondant on their birthday cakes. I guess taste overrules looks. Eli had his first haircut the following week after getting his 2-year old pictures taken. :)


Sabrina is NINE!



We let Sabrina open her gift from G&G H before Jeff left for work in the morning. The gift was a shirt, jeans, and the dress she is wearing in the picture. I think this is her favorite outfit now, because she says she wants to wear her new dress on the first day of school! :) The ribbon in her hair was tied on the gift. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa! :)


Anders is SIX!



One of the perks my children enjoy on their birthdays is not having to do any chores. They also get to choose what we have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Anders was easy on me and requested macaroni and cheese with corn dogs, which I NEVER buy, except as a request on their birthdays.


Leif is ELEVEN!



The m&ms on the cake really added a nice flavor! We laughed when Leif opened the card from G&G O and saw that it was an m&m card! :) Leif asked if he could have friends over to play on his birthday. They came over at noonish and stayed until 9:30 PM! *whew* What a day! :)
