a crazy weekend

This weekend has been a crazy one. Friday, Tonja and Joshlyn (Jake's sister and her daughter) came over to my house so we could make the invitations for Kellie's (Jake's other sister) bridal shower. It took us a while (and a trip to Michaels) to finally decide what we wanted to do for the invites.

This is what Jake found when he got home from work at 10:15 that night!

It was a mess but we had a lot of fun!

After 3 hours of hard work, our creative juices were gone but this is what we accomplished!



















Saturday was Savannah's 7th birthday. I was excited when she said she wanted a green M&M cake. I figured it would be an easy one to make- until she informed me she wanted arms and legs, complete with gloves and boots.

This is the finished product. I think it turned out pretty good!

Christena said it looked like a buff M&M, but we decided it was just a little chunky- it is made out of chocolate after all!










Most of Jake's family came over for cake and ice cream, which was nice since I ended up making 2 cake mixes, so I could have the cupcakes too. It was a houseful, but never a dull moment.

Here is Savannah opening her presents!

This is the purse she got from Christena.
Christena originally bought Savannah a new shirt, but Olyvia told Savannah what Christena was going to give her so we had to get something else for Christena to give and Juliana got to give Savannah the shirt instead.










Juliana got a little impatient with Savannah and deciced she would rather open the presents herself.
She climbed up on the chair with Savannah's present and tried to open it herself. Jake had to rescue the present!

It's not real easy to explain to a 2 year old that it isn't her birthday!
