Pie, cake and other goodies! ***

Cinderella hair do.

My dad is visiting us and it has been fun having him here. He decided that he needed rhubarb pie and so we went to the store and because Kroger was going to throw the rhubarb away, we got 3.2 lbs of rhubarb (good rhubarb!) for $1.27!!!!!!!!!! SCORE! That raised our moral after getting a parking ticket downtown the day before! :) Well he made the pies, and while he thinks the crust isn't good, we all think they are EXCELLENT! I can't believe how much I missed those delicious pies! YUM! He made 2 pies and a strawberry/rhubarb cobbler. The pies were best!

Elaine's 4th birthday was yesterday. We had family over for cake and ice cream. I made a princess cake (colors didn't turn out right) and because I thought there wouldn't be enough cake I made another cake and made it Cinderella's hill with a Cinderella candle on top!:) Again, the colors weren't great but still cute! :)
It was fun and she got a LOT of princess stuff :). Big coloring book, barrettes, nightgown, big Cinderella doll with Jacques and Gus and a cake, puzzle, socks, craft kit with a window catcher, pillow, and plastic canvas door hanging. The only things not princess were the three cards with money (Grandma O, Nana, George & Lynnette) and some stick on earrings of Dora!! She is very happy and such a big girl! She had a hard time waiting for Daddy to get home and Rose-Marie, David and Mason to get here before she opened her presents ;).
This was the best face :)

My girls in there favorites :)

Then after the girls were in bed and Dad and Carlos left to go to stuff together (driving range and bowling) the Relief Society sisters came over for movie night! We watched National Treasure 2 and had lots of goodies! :) Needless to say, I had a bit of a tummy ache last night and this morning. I tried not to eat anything for movie night but people brought fresh banana bread, cheez-its, fresh kettle corn, and M&M's! Not to mention the cobbler so...I had to eat a little of each!!!! Sheesh!!!!
***My apologies to Lynnette and George they DID in fact send a very princess card to Elaine and she LOVED it! Thank you! :)
