Each year, around labor day, my family has relatives over to our house to celebrate any August and September birthdays. Really this is just a good excuse to get together. We have a late Sunday lunch, cake, presents, and a good time together.
On the menu was:
pulled pork with BBQ sauce on the side
calico beans
broccoli cauliflower salad
chips
fruit
veggies
Just a week before, we got a puppy! My sister had fun showing it to all the relatives. The puppy, Zoey, got lots of attention.
We took some fun pictures...
The kids wanted to do a scavenger hunt - really they just wanted money to be hidden to find (I guess, a late summer Easter egg hunt). So, I put the scavenger hunt on, with a little money hidden with some of the clues. The first few they got right away, but they got harder as they went.
I made an Italian Cream Cake and chocolate cupcakes. My aunt also made a gluten free almond cake. I decorated the Italian Cream Cake by putting some freshly cut flowers on top - I simply put a little extra frosting on top of the cake and piled on some flowers (I cut the stem real short).
Tilli is turning 9, Sarah turned 12...
and Jakob turned 14.
