Family Fun

family picture at Oktoberfest

Matthew and I had our 5 year wedding anniversary on September 30th. The cake above was my gift to him. There's a little story behind it. Five years ago at our wedding, Matt was so excited to eat a piece of his groom's cake. He had especially picked it out and couldn't wait for the wedding meal to be over so we could cut the cake. It was a round chocolate cake, drizzled in melted fudge and topped with chocolate covered strawberries. Well, the photographer came to our table and asked us to come cut the wedding cake (not the groom's cake). While we were having our pictures taken doing the traditional feeding each other a bite, the servers started serving the other cake. When we were done with pictures, Matt turned to get a piece of the highly anticipated groom's cake....and it was gone! The poor groom didn't even get to eat a piece of his own groom's cake at his wedding. He is still upset about it and brings up this story every time that we talk about our wedding. I thought that this might bring him some closure!

We took the kids to see The Lion King. They loved it!

They are really excited! Tysen slept through most of the movie.
