Happy 39!

My mom's birthday was yesterday and the whole fam had fun celebrating with her. We began on Tuesday by baking her a cake. Madison came over while J was gone and helped me bake the Chocolate Coke Cake.

Jackson got home that afternoon and helped make the icing and decorate it with me. When I asked him how old Gigi was going to be he replied, "I think she's gonna be 39." So 39 it was!


This was the first time just us girls baked a cake together and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it...

especially when I let Miss M lick the batter! I must confess, it's my favorite part, too.


Mom's birthday began with a surprise dinner at Matt's Rancho Martinez. Her dearest friends came to celebrate with her...some of them even helped blow out her candles:)



After dinner we headed home to the three munchkins who were anxiously awaiting cake time with their Gigi! Miss Lila was the first one to dive into the cake.

Soon after she snagged some icing, the big kids did, too!



The only way we could get them out of the cake was by letting them "help" open presents.


Then they cleared off the table and were ready for the big event. Who wants cake? These two, for sure! Happy Birthday, Gigi. We love you!
