Happy 83rd Birthday, Grandma!

To celebrate sweet Grandma's special day, we invited the Alix family to join us. They have known and loved "Grandma Laurel" for years, and we knew she would love to see them! Sean and Mary Kay are two of our favorite people in the world and it was wonderful, as always, to spend the evening with them!



We had a Mexican fiesta for Grandma. I made green chile chicken enchiladas, beans and guacamole, and Mary Kay brought her delicious Mexican lasagna. Of course, I served everything on my hand-painted Talovera from Mexico, which Zane refers to as my "hispanic plates." That doesn't sound quite as fancy, does it?


Bailey was very cute with Sullivan. She was like her little mommy all evening.


All our kiddos get along so well. (Levi is missing because he was in trouble.) Sydney, Bailey and Luke are a joy to have around. As you can see, Sulli is smitten with little Luke. She followed him around much of the evening saying, "Friend," and patting him on the back.


OK... he's back now. ;)



I made an Emeril Lagasse cake we love called, crazily enough, "Gigi's Carrot Cake!" It's so delicous, and Grandma loved it. I didn't have 83 candles, so I just used 3. ;)
