This weekend was a very special woman's birthday. It was hub's meemaw's birthday! She requested that everyone go to church with her Sunday morning, followed by a birthday get together. So, that's what we did!
Sunday morning we woke up bright and early, got ready for church, then drove 40 minutes to attend the 9am church service. There were so many of us that we took up 2 pews! It was amazing! Then, we drove out to the family land out in the middle of nowhere (seriously) and grilled out, rode 4 wheelers (there were 4 there!), shot guns, played games outside, and played a game inside. It was the most fun we've all had in quite some time! I know she enjoyed it and so did the rest of us.
Also, I made my first decorated cake. It was 2 tiers of French Vanilla cake with Buttercream Icing. It tasted really good and didn't look too badly either! I really need to practice on my writing though. :) Cake decorating is a lot of work - it took me 3.5 hours from start to finish! Plus, I made brownies, too! I took a picture of the cake with my phone...so you can't really tell what the designs on top are.... ooops.
How was ya'lls weekend?
Edited to Add: I made the Buttercream Icing - even the blue icing. That jar that you see has stiff consistency icing that I used to secure the cake to the board. So, yes I had a powdered sugar mess all over my kitchen :)
