Celebrations

We celebrated my birthday at the end of June with my favorite things: family and cake!

It was a beautiful and delicious cake.

On the Fourth of July Stella and I made a raspberry pie. I think pie tastes better if you make it in Minnie Mouse underwear.

We had a mini-fireworks display at our house before bedtime - it was a bit hit with the kids. 

I took Abram to a baseball game the night before that had fireworks after the game. Abram usually goes to bed by 8 and the game didn't start until 7 so I thought he would get pretty tired and cranky but it turns out he was a champ. We could only get tickets on the lawn and I swear we were at a 45 degree angle on slippery sleeping bag - he kept rolling down the hill but he didn't complain at all. I was begging him to leave by the 7th inning but he was adamant about watching the fireworks. The game lasted until 10 and then the fireworks started about 10:15. I was exhausted. The fireworks started and Abram leaned over and said, "Mama, these are Ahhmazing." Oh, sweet boy, so are you...so are you.
