Mike and I went to a Marriage seminar at church Friday night and Saturday morning. The speakers were Bill and Pam Farrel and they were great! So we had Grace's party with family Saturday night! we had 14 of us and we had a ball!
Grace isn't a cake lover unless it's chocolate icing so we had Strawberry cake with Chocolate whipped icing! It was yummy but I wish it was all gone and not in the house! ha If you look closely under the cake I placed these GIANT Candy button candies I found at Cracker Barrel! they were so cool! I also found a GIANT candy necklace I had on the table too! it was fun!
We got Grace a new bible and had her name put on it in gold! I recalled her saying once, her bible wasn't "real" because it didn't have gold sides! ha I found a horse Bible with a horse embossed on the top! Grace also ADORES horses so it was an awesome find.....perfect small sized and she was really thrilled! She was fun to watch and my whole family still enjoys having someone young enough to get really excited!! ha
It's snowing really hard and all schools around BUT US are closed today! Oh well.....I clean today at another house and my laundry is screaming my name! So enjoy your week!!
Sounds like Grace had an amazing birthday and you all had a great weekend. That's so great to hear!
ReplyDeleteAs far as us being the only people without a snow day though, I'm not so thrilled. Brian doesn't work on Mondays so he is home anyway, but he works for Memphis schools and they are letting the kids out at 11:00 due to the snow. I guess we're not rural enough of an area to get a snow day. Boo.
you are so very good at making special days be wonderful and memorable! You are good at making ordinary days special too! : )
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me, Jeni!
Your cake was so pretty! Strawberry with chocolate frosting sounds really yummy! Glad it isn't in my house : 0 Ha!
The Farrals were great on Sunday. I am so glad the marriage retreat went well!
Love you!
