Amy's Birthday Party

Okay, we're getting the super cheesy pictures over with first. Here are Tom and myself posing as we were getting ready for our company to come over. I took most of the pictures, so this is the only one I'm actually in, lol. Tom was a really good sport and decorated and really got the house cleaned up. It was nice, because I had a Relief Society lesson I needed to work on.






Now this was the coolest cake I have ever had. My friend Kelsey made it for me, and if you have ever played games with us, you probably recognize the theme she's got going here. It was great! There's no better theme for me than board games, and as Settlers of Catan is one of my favorites, it was perfect for me. You can't see it well in this picture, but there are even little number tokens and settlements and roads all around the cake. Way to go, Kelsey! I was totally impressed. All of the hexes are hand-painted with food coloring on fondant (rolled out icing).



Here are Jeff and Crystal with their kids. Jeff looks like a demon with his red eye. I tried to fix it but because they're so very red it just kept blacking out half of the photo. What a cute family, though!



More Leo and Ella huggy pictures. They were so cute all night, going from lap to lap getting their loves and hugging everyone. Here they are with Uncle Devin.



Here is Rosa. Didn't get much of a smile there :S. Not sure what Leo is trying to get into here, but he was constantly intrigued by everything around him that he wasn't supposed to have. He kept stealing Doritos off of people's plates because he likes them so much, but he can't have some of the ingredients in them so we kept having to take them away. At least we had some special ice cream there he could have, and that distracted him most of the time.



How could anyone resist this face? I don't think I could say no if she asked me anything!



We played Harry Potter Scene It and Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit. Devin was kind enough to lend us his movie projector, so we had a huge-sized screen to watch it all on. We all enjoyed ourselves, and the teams were neck and neck the whole time.



There's Summer's cute head in the foreground here and Tom in the back having a drink.



Ella wrapping Grandpa around her little finger. There are Kelsey and Sam eating in the background.



These are the nice flowers Tom picked out for me. I think he did a good job :D
