Let them eat cake !!!

I am very thankful that I have such wonderful friends at work, otherwise I would go postal at work and Taylor would never manage to get a Birthday cake. Michele my friend at work offered to make Taylor a Teddy Bear cake this year as she had a Build-a-Bear party. Taylor's Granny flew in and we celebrated her belated birthday with Granny by eating her hand-made bear cake and spending her Build-a-Bear gift card that her Granny gave her. Jackson loved the cake. He would have eaten the entire thing if I let him. Taylor got the first bite and the poor bear lost his ear. Before we were done the bear became decapitated, What a strange way to enjoy cake. People ate the food court asked were they could buy a cake like that, and I proudly said that it was a hand-made one of a kind. Thanks Michele so very, very much. You saved the day.

Happy 9th Birthday Taylor !!!!

Taylor wanted a Build-a-Bear Birthday party this year. She invited some of her closest friends which there surprisingly happened to be two boys in the mix along with her cousins. We were unable to have cake and ice-cream at Build-a-Bear, they don't have anywhere to sit and eat; so we ate in the food court. We messed up her party of course and had to buy a cookie pizza cake from Mrs. Field's, and ice cream from Orange Julius. The kids didn't care because it was sugar and that was good enough. Taylor loved the gifts she got from her friends, and her friends all loved their bears. All in All a good day. I can't believe how fast they grow up.

Grandpa is so Funny !!!!

Jackson had the best time at Taylor's Birthday party playing with Grandpa. Grandpa would sneak around his neck and give him a kiss. Jackson would squeal with delight. Grandpa and Grandma Beardall played with him while I tried to keep the party go-ers all together, which was no easy task since there were so many and they can run in all different directions.
