benefits and birthdays

On Thursday, we attended the American Adventure Banquet 

at my Mom's school. Holden Christian Academy. :)

My sister, Jade spoke about her time at HCA 

and about Dayton starting there for pre-school in the fall. :)

He will be the first child of an alumni to attend. EXCITING!!

We went to support her and Mom and HCA's Christian Education efforts. :)

It was a fun night with yummy food.

Sunday, after work, we went to Bocado

to celebrate Sarah's (and my very early) birthdays.

Dayton came over on Monday and we invented

Devil's Food Rainbow Sprinkle Almond Cookies!! :) :) :)

For supper, K and I made Chicken Broccoli n Cheddar Croissants.

We made lots so I could bring them to Playdate for Sarah's birthday party.

Here we are packed up and ready to go.
Livi will reap the benefits of Monday's efforts...

but I sent Dayt home with some cookies. :) :) :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARAH!!

Jen made this awesome cake with No Pudge Brownies

I'll have to have her give me the recipe. :)

You may have noticed...

Our group is growing. :) :) :)

Recently, Maureen and Elise joined the group 

(and big brother Adam when he's not in school)

and also, Donna and Stella are new, too.

We must have been having the coolest PlayDates in town. :) :) :)

Also debuting...Jada's new look!!

Bangs and a bob and new glasses!

Both these lil chicks are just too cute!!

Next week we'll all be at my place to celebrate my birthday.

I can't wait!! :) :) :)
