Elli had a great cardiology appointment! (Elli had surgery for TOF when she was 8 months old in China.) Her cardiologist said everything looks wonderful and she has no concerns. She said it is like she had never had surgery.

Allison's 25th and Marshmallow's 6th Birthday! (and St. Patrick's Day Charcuterie Board)

Pictures taken Mar. 12 ~

We had a party and celebrated a belated 25th birthday for Allison and an early 6th birthday for Marshmallow!

I made a chocolate chip cookie cake, and Elli added fun sprinkles!

We found a birthday cake dog toy that had six candles!

Brady and Elli also got presents from Kaitlyn! Brady's Kingdom Hearts hoodie for Christmas finally arrived, and Elli got a Valentine's Day card and chocolates.

We also made an Irish flag charcuterie board for St. Patrick's Day! 🇮🇪

The flag pole was made with beef jerky sticks. The flag was made with cucumber sticks, mozzarella and pepper jack cheese, and colby jack and cheddar cheese. I sliced green peppers for the shamrocks.

Mom's Birthday Party!

Pictures taken Feb. 27 ~

We celebrated Mom's birthday! She has a leap-year birthday and is only 20 1/2!

After church, we quickly decorated the back room and set up a taco salad bar.

Birthday wish! We decided that everyone should put a candle in their cupcake and make a wish too.  ;)

The rose gold decorations and chocolate cupcakes looked so pretty.
