Birthday celebrations

Here are some pictures from Jonathan's birthday celebrations. It was a long weekend full of fun times. First you'll see pictures from our time in Kingston, TN. I surprised Jonathan with a stay at a very generous, kind family's lake house. He used the first half of the day as a personal retreat and then London and I came up later in the day to celebrate with him and spend the night.

London opening Jonathan's gifts. "I'm not supposed to be doing this am I?""Oh well, I'm cute!"

The beginnings of Jonathan's birthday cake. It's my grandmother Ceta's red velvet recipe that we've been making for years and years. It's the best. It always makes me think of Ceta and all the red velvet requests we made of her. Thanks Ceta. You're the best!
The icing. It has to beat for 20 minutes! I'm thankful for my Kitchenaid maker in times like these!
The final product. This is a bad picture. But it sure did taste swell! I made the 28 out of fondant, so it was tastily edible!
Celebrating his birthday with some friends. This was so much fun!
