Birthday Bash With The Family!

The girls' birthdays are only 3 weeks apart and I am right smack dab in the middle.  So, to make it easier on everyone, okay so I don't know exactly how easy it is on everyone else but it sure is easier on me, we have the family birthday bash on the same day.  And then they get to have their party with their friends.

This year, my mom, my dad, Wesley, Jordan, and Austin were able to be here for the party again.  Others who came were, Erik's parents, Michelle and Dustin and their kiddos, Ryan (Lizeth and Leilani had something else at her parents), and Nikki (Andy had class that night).  Also our dear friends, who might as well be family, Shonna and her kids made it over as well (Andy had a bunch of work to do). 

All in all it was a fun evening, I think.  Okay, so the girls and I had fun.  I hope everyone else did as well!

I made this really cool sunflower cake with Hershey Kisses, yummy!  Chocolate!

Thanks everyone who was able to make it and spend some special time with us.  And those of you who couldn't, wish you were here!  Love ya!


The sunflower cake. Can you say awesome?  and easy?  The petals are twinkies!




And of course you have to have a cake that says their names!  This was thrown together last minute, not my finest.





Family and friends!




Blowing out the candles!  They should get their wishes!





Love having everyone over!




Opening of presents, the girls' favorite part.  Thanks everyone!

That is such a cool idea for a cake! I might try it for a potluck coming up. (Besides, now I'm hungry for Twinkies and Hershey's kisses! :))
