Spring Break in Hot-Lanta!

This year we spent Spring Break in Atlanta with my sister and her family.   They recently got a new house, so we wanted to check-out their new digs and spend time with my niece and nephews that are growing-up WAY to fast.  High points were.... Max meeting his cousins and Auntie Kristina for the first time, sister time!!, little kids in shin guards, nephews getting baptized, Atlanta Aquarium, Sammy's salsa and southern sunshine.  It all made for a memorable trip!
Here are some of the favorites:

Wade found a snake...eeek!!

Happy Birthday to me...

Birthdays aren't quite as exciting as they used to be. Being 32 sounds old? mature?... I haven't quite decided what I think about it.  We had an early birthday celebration at home and another in Georgia on my actual birthday.  It was a fun and memorable beginning to a new year, and a very special treat to be with my sisters family on the actual day.

Pre-birthday celebration at home:

This was our first attempt at cake decorating and it was a bit of a disaster

Luckily they didn't attempt 32 candles.

The actual day with the Cruvers in Georgia:

My old apron... so many memories.

We celebrated Mom's birthday, too

Fancy cupcakes for the birthday girls

Tasted as good as it looks. A great way to start 32 years!! 

Max is 6 Months!
