what we did in March

Did I really not blog all of March?  Geez lou-eez.  I'm not even sure anything happened!  Let's see.

Oh.

BEN TURNED TWENTY-SIX!

His birthday was on a Sunday and I was still feeling crummy from surgery, so we decided that we'd throw a little party the following Sunday.  But in the meantime . . we ordered a custom cake from Coldstone and paid for it online to eat on his actual b-day.  I was going to pick it up on Sunday after Church (already paid for, not breaking the Sabbath, right?!).  We ordered a "Petite Cake" for $8.

I went to pick it up after Church the next day and they hadn't made it.  The poor girl working called her boss and then told me they could offer me a "Small Cake" and a six-pack of ice cream cupcakes.  Well, all of the "Small Cakes" were Devil's Food and Ben doesn't like that so I asked if I could just have a refund instead.  She called her boss and then told me I could just take any cake I wanted.  So, I took the biggest one they had!  Normally $40 and we paid only $8.  And I wrote the birthday message on it myself when I got home (so ugly!).

 We had a great party for Ben with some friends the next Sunday.  Homemade treats this time.

My parents visited us for dinner and ice cream as part of Dad's birthday celebration.  Have I mentioned that I love living so close to my family?!

We went to the Creamery . . but are you surprised?

And we went to see "Lamb of God" on Easter Sunday.
