Sweet Celebration ...

... with my family on Sunday for a pre-birthday dinner.

I love that we live so close to both our families. Watching the relationships grow between Ethan and his grandparents makes me oh so happy. Such a blessing!

Here he is playing chase with Lucky ...

















Presents ... my sister always has unique and fun wrapping. And her card? Too cute, I might just need to frame it for the sewing room ...

AND

Cake ... made by Mom, just the way I requested. White cake, butter cream frosting, nice and cold from the fridge. Mmmm ...
























Super fun polka dot dessert plates and a matching cake plate. Love them! Still figuring out how/where to display ... Kelly, these would look adorable in your kitchen! And Summer, I think they'd go perfect with your red/aqua color scheme. Too bad, so sad :P. Instead I'll serve you up something yummy from them next time you're over.

















Aren't moms and sisters great? I think so ...


Boys are great too, but they don't like to pose for pictures ... but they do take pictures for you (even if they act disgruntled) and they do cook a mean steak for you and they sure make your heart swell when their little arms wrap around you and call you Mama.

So thanks to Dad, Mom, Summer, Matt & Ethan for making me feel oh so special!

Happy Sunday (on Saturday)!

Ha! As soon as I read the words cake plate I thought "I need that!" Where did it come from?
Looks like a fun celebration! What was underneath Summer's fun wrapping?

I'm a little jealous of those red and white plates. I have the mini cake stand that goes with them. bought it in OR actually.
