The night before

Sunday evening, the night before Em's birthday we let Emily open her presents from her grandparents. I didn't want Grandparent gifts to get mixed in with everything else. She doesn't get to see her grandparents often, so I thought this would help make it more special.

The girls helped me mix the cakes and throw them in the oven first. You can see the evidence that she got to help all over her face :)

Waiting patiently to open the gifts:


From Grandpa and Grandma D:







From Grammy and Grandpa W:

Sorry Mom, it took me too long to get the doll out of the wrapping! I didn't get a picture of her holding it out of the box!

She got spoiled rotten by her grandparents! We love them so much! Thanks for sending your love guys, you always make our children feel so loved!

After the kids called Grandparents to say thank you, and went to bed I finished working on the cakes! I'm pretty proud of how they ended up! I think Em's cake was so nice cause I'm pregnant. I kept thinking of things to add!




One double layer chocolate cake with home made cream cheese frosting covered in strawberries and drizzled with chocolate and a one layer one.
It was really yummy!
