My handsome boy turned 9!
He requested a Dirt Cake (pudding and crushed oreos) and he decorated the top with cookies and gummy worms.
Lots of gummy worms!
His neighborhood friends came over to celebrate, eat hamburgers, and play in the snow.
On Saturday, Grace and I went to a Mother and Daughter Tea.
A Valentine breakfast.
Goody bags for our Faith Keeper's Paris themed Valentine party.
So, that is what we've been up to. I'm looking forward to a more healthy upcoming week!
I've been home with a sick boy for two days so I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteI have had the flu the past 6 weeks. I am finally back to normal.
ReplyDeleteLove those goodie bags! Cake looks wonderful too!
I love tea parties!

ReplyDeletethis looks absolutely gorgeous, all those cups and egg holders. It is fabulous. I'm sure you had a wonderful time.
