And just like that…

My little Queenie turned a year old.

Addison’s birthday party was amazing and filled with lots of love and great food We celebrated in true royal fashion with a menu fit for a “Queen.” Our menu consisted of: BBQ ribs, Swedish Meatballs, pistachio pudding, macaroni salad, broccoli with cheese sauce, lime jello salad, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls and a relish tray. Is that not the most delicious sounding menu ever? We are blessed with a family of amazing cooks! Jeff’s sister made the birthday cake and my friend/neighbor made the awesome chocolate dipped Oreo cookies:

No amount of weight loss product would be able to alleviate the amount of weight we gained from eating all of this amazing food over the weekend.  And if you’re wondering about that smaller cake to the left of Addison’s?  Well, it’s a small birthday cake we picked up for Jeff’s grandfather, who celebrated his 71st  birthday on Saturday. Ethan decorated his great-grandfather’s cake with monkeys and apes– which was much cuter than one would have thought.

Will update again later, as more pictures appear.  Have to get pictures from other people because I did not get nearly the amount that I wanted.
