Youth on the march!

 We couldnt have mail ordered a more perfect day for having the youth group to our cottage! Picturesque!

What a kid...I can hardly stand it!

We celebrated Morgan's 15th birthday - a total surprise! So fun!

The gang's all here!

1, 2, & 3 of The BE

While a lot of my peers are joining gyms, drinking protein shakes and honing their beach bodies 

(all noble things I should probably consider as the next project) 

I made a list of 15 bakeries that Heather and I plan to visit. 

Mmmmmm bakeries :)

First: The Donut Conspiracy on St. Patrick's Day
Consumed: A Lucky Charms topped cake donut with green frosting

Second: The Cakabakery (no sign photo bc it was being installed!)
Consumed: Chocolate Chunk cookie I had been thinking about for about 6 weeks

Third: Van's Pastry (the most Classic of all classics, Hymn Sing on Monday mornings! 9 am!)
Consumed: M&M Cookie and Chocolate Cream Puff at home in the evening

Baby M LOVES this project, probably more than she'd like sit ups, so, it's for the baby :)

Birthday Time!

Even though my birthday is fairly early in the month, I get to celebrate with my friend Kerry first - it's like birthday warm up ;)

She was a Wednesday bday this year, so to celebrate we played pin the tail on the donks and had cake. Much to Morgan's chagrin she won and thus a photo ensued.

Celebrations started early for me. Friday night Senor Pedro treated me to an evening out to dinner and the Symphony, ooo lala!!! Saturday night was a party south of town in Schoolcraft with Peter's side of the family.

Picking out a sweet treat at the Downtown Market - coconut macaroon please and thank you!

Evening celebration with the fam

 Our little fam and a cake from Connie's, which I suppose is an honorary member.

The gift that keeps on giving! mom's balloon!

So, happy birthday to me, and yes, thank you Mol, Who's Counting?!
