Birthday Weekend

My Honey turned 26 on August 8!
We gathered at his parents' on Saturday to enjoy a small family birthday party.

Happy Birthday, Pete! I love you. :)

Mmmmm...burgers and 'dogs on the grill.

We had all the best "summer" foods- pasta salad (so pretty, too!), watermelon, sweet corn, chips 'n salsa, tomatoes, fresh sliced veggies, and iced tea.

Jane & Loren- giving us a little ambiance with some hanging candles.

Pete's cousin Molly (on the left), and Gino (on the right).

Pete's uncle Curt.
(Why am I underlining everything? I have no idea, but I can't seem to get it to stop, so we're just going to go with it!) :)


Pete's aunt Patti.

Me (caught in a moment unaware...)

And, of course, we can't forget the doggie family members...

Molly's boxers, Lexi and...

Beamer.

Koa.

And Loren & Jane's Sassy.
(She was less than pleased to have other doggie guests in her yard!)

Mmmm, ICE CREAM!!!

And Jane (wonderful mother-in-law that she is!!!) made the carrot cake he requested.



We brought several toppings to choose from- caramel, hot fudge, fresh raspberries, fresh blackberries, frozen strawberries, or frozen blueberries. YUM!
