29

Rands birthday was last Saturday (the 22nd).  He is now 29 years old!  that's right 29!  OLD!  Actually I had better be nice because my birthday is in a few weeks and I am not much younger...unfortunately ;)  Anyway, we celebrated by going to the city to spend some birthday money and went to dinner.  We had a few friends over the next day to have cake and ice cream.  This year (after much debate) Rand decided he wanted a peanut butter/chocolate cake. Don't let the picture below fool you.  No that is not a large pile of poop on that cake stand... it is actually a really yummy chocolate cake with creamy peanut butter filling, chocolate ganache frosting, and topped with chopped peanut butter cups. I probably should have thought out the presentation a little more...but it was tasty! 

Avery even loved the cake! She ate the entire slice! Good thing I have a bib with long sleeves (brilliant)!
                                      

Happy Birthday Rand!

Snow!

It is snowing right now.  I realized that Avery hasn't really been out in the snow yet, so we decided to go outside for a few minutes before it really starts coming down.  She didn't know what to think at first.  Just stood by the steps and stared. She cried once she decided to touch it, so we went back inside.  I wish I could get her to look at the camera.
