The weekend of Samantha's 13th birthday brought a ton of fun our (Samantha, Davis and I) way! Sharon and David were gone from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, being part of a poverty simulation for their Elevate class. We made the most of our weekend! :)
We started out with pedicures! Wonderful fun! :) We thoroughly enjoyed our pampering! :)
Here's a picture of Samantha enjoying every single second! :)
Davis enjoyed it as much as we did! :) He absolutely loved the massage chair! We were there for a little over an hour, and the people taking care of us never let them stop massaging! It was wonderful!
Here are all of our lovely toes! :)
Samantha and I have flowers and jewels! :)
Then we headed to Target to shop for all of our weekend treats and goodies! :)
We came home and made dinner, and then started on Samantha's Sunshine Coconut Cake! :)
Here is the batter, split and ready to go into the oven! :)
And here are the finished layers!
And here are the layers with the lemon filling spread between them.
(I'm sorry Marcia - I just couldn't figure out how to successfully split all of the layers to make 6...I'm sorry! :( )
And here it is with the HARD AS A ROCK icing on it, and the clumped up coconut clumped up ALL OVER it! :P
And here are my little loves posing with the beautiful cake! Lol
Yes...we do only have one candle in it! We were a little afraid that if we put all 13 that the cake would crumble and be completely inedible! :P Lol
However, both the kids loved the cake, even in all of the icky glory...and in the end...that's all that really matters anyway... :)
BLOW! :)
And here it is after the cut was made! :)
And here is Spooky - a puppy that thoroughly enjoyed all of his fun with us that weekend! And enjoyed sleeping right in the middle of us both nights! :)
Yes...he is just a tad bit spoiled! And that is just fine! :)
We cleaned their rooms on Saturday, because it poured down rain all Friday night and all day Saturday. They went through all of their stuff and made piles of what they wanted to keep, and what could go in the "Yard Sale for Thailand" pile. We then rearranged both of their rooms, and did a thorough cleaning job! :)
We cooked lunch and dinner, and then settled in for a viewing of High School Musical 3 :)
Sunday, we went to church, and then headed to Olive Garden (thank you Mama for treating us!) for lunch. After that we went and hung out in a deserted corner of the Lowe's parking lot and played a game that Samantha and Davis had learned at LifeGroup the week before! :) We had a BLAST!!! :D
