Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. It was a bitterly cold and snowy day, much like the one I was born on (or so they tell me). I had the start of some sinus problems so I lazed around most of the day. Ryan did clean and take care of Cadence for me, that was very nice. I even got a nap - when Cadence was not sleeping!! We didn't go anywhere but today we will try to go out for my birthday dinner. I want to go to California Pizza Kitchen - YUMMO!! Then maybe across the street to the ole 'Bucks to get a hot chocolate. I still haven't gone through our Christmas pictures - most of them were taken on Mom's camera so I will post those when we get the CD of them. We did get Christmas decor down. Ryan has been home a lot - it is too cold to work on the house. Contractors don't want to work in sub zero temps with wind - who knew. Ryan does go out for a few hours here and there but there is not much to do right now. If it ever gets above 30 look out house you will be flooded with workers.
Oh yeah, I had a coconut cream cake for my festivities. DELICIOUS!!!!! Even people who didn't want to try it said they liked it.
Now I will attempt pictures the next time - I need to find my camera first - I think it is in my room.

More Birthday

This time Cadence knew what to do with the birthday thing. My brother and his girlfriend helped decorate the cupcakes. The party took place at 8:45 pm but as you can tell Cadence was a champ, I guess cake, frosting, gifts and attention bring out the best in her :).

A Birthday Party in Rewind

Like always - I loaded these in the wrong order. The first is of Ryan swimming with the kids in the pond - he said the water was cool but not bad. Like any pond it was SLIMY!!!


This is Cadence opening some gifts. She still had her shirt off from eating cake.

Gpa and Gma Laux - in front of the pond. As you can tell Cadence was very excited for the cupcake and not that concerned with the picture.

Ryan letting Cadence eat the cupcake.

Here is some of the party kids. Notice the two babies are eating frosting already!!

Here is Cadence in her birthday hat that I made. She was eating frosting and nobody really even realized it!!

Caleb and Cadence were confined to the play pin at first. Then they got to get out and play.

I had just finished the cake and she was heading right towards it - at a fast rate if you can tell. :)

Tomorrow is her real birthday and she will be doing who knows what with us but today everyone was off and so we got together. In a few days we will be having another b-day party with my side of the family. So stay tuned for more pictures :).
