Sweets, Sweets, and more Sweets

I have cake on the brain this morning. I really want some sweets and keep thinking about how many we had this weekend. The wedding I went to on Saturday was all about the desserts. Each table had a centerpiece...it was a different cake at each table. How I wish I would of taken pictures of these cakes. We had this chocolate cake with an icing that looked almost fake. The cake tasted like a slice of heaven. There was a note at each table that said feel free to sample your neighbor's cake too. There were cheesecakes, banana cakes, pumpkin cakes, spice cakes, and many more. The kid's tables had cupcake towers, suckers and nerd ropes for them to eat. (They really loved all that sugar.) There was a cookie table that had hundreds of different types of cookies piled high. I wish there were goodie bags for me to take these home because after all of the cakes and the 5 course meal we ate, I was stuffed full. Oh and later there was pizza too. I passed on the pizza but got a little box of chocolates to take home.

Weekend Happenings

The whole family got dressed up this weekend. We had a family wedding. It was a super fun wedding. The kids danced the night away. Brandon was cracking me up. He was break dancing and very comical. It was like he was performing for everyone. Emma enjoyed hanging out with all her cousins and dancing too. Alyssa caught the bouquet. She was nervous about the boy who was going to catch the garder. Relief...sigh...her cousin. They just got their photo taken, no slow dance. They were both relieved. They are only a few months apart in age...missed my photo opportunity. Alyssa was a bit surprised when she saw her orthodontist at the reception. She was nervous to chew gum and eat things she shouldn't. She was being teased like crazy. After her dance with the doc, he took a picture with her. I'll have to make a copy and give it to him this week when she gets her bands changed.

John was so not in the mood to take this photo. He hates it when I make him take our couples photo when the kids are wired and I want Alyssa to use our new camera with no experience.

Sibling hug.....

This is one photo for the record (they rarely hug like this)

The three before we left for the reception. Emma told me she looked like an American Girl Doll. I think it was the "pretty" we put in her hair.





My sister Tricia and I .

Tricia, Dad, Mom, and me! We were missing my brother and other sister. We wished they could of been there. Distance sucks sometimes. I will look forward to the holidays this year when we are all together.

That was it for our weekend. It was a mighty cold one too. It felt like Old Man Winter blew through for sure. I did go for a 5 mile run today. It was a chilly one. There were a few snowflakes floating in the sky. It was a good run, but I need to get better pants for this type of weather. My legs were frozen! I didn't leave the house for the rest of the day. Cozied up with some coffee and some TV. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
