Yay For Crafts...and Cake!

Craft Night has officially begun in Logan! Since moving from Orem I realized that I really missed my craft night/girls night, so I took matters into my own hands. Even though one of us girlies couldn't make it, we still had a good time and successful craft! We did have to make this a 2 day event...which wasn't too disappointing, we like to see each other and have a good excuse to do so! Check out my beautiful cranberry wreath...or should I say chanberry (if you know me, you know that I can pretty much quote friends when talking about ANYTHING) even a cranberry wreath!
Our next idea is a Christmas advent calendar, watch for our cute design idea...we are pretty excited about it!

Also Eric had a Birthday, Shout Hooray! Eric is 25 years old! Chloe, our niece, said he was now like an old Grandpa...YIKES! I made this banner to greet Eric on his special day! (it is still hanging in our home because I am not going to lie I was a little proud of it and I couldn't stand just letting it hang for one day!)

Funny Story about the German Chocolate cake... so for like a whole week I kept asking Eric what kind of cake he would like for his Birthday and he kept saying "Whatever you want, I don't really care." Keep in mind Eric doesn't really care too much for desserts generally. I usually know exactly which cake I want! Well finally the day before I decided to ask once more and he replyed with a German Chocolate cake and I was excited I said "Oh that sounds good I didn't think you would like that." and he said "Oh I didn't think YOU would like it." Funny because you can still learn something after 3 years!!

Eric and his cake, can you believe this guy is 25 years old?!?


Blowing out the candles!


Eric had a happy birthday and now we are very excited to our family for Thanksgiving!!

One thing Whit didn't tell you about the banner is that I thought it was store bought. She did a great job fixing everything up for my birthday. Thanks Whit I love you.

Whitney thanks for posting Eric's age on here so now I won't have to call him when I...fill out Travis's med school applications... (connection there to Eric's age? No one knows.) Also I have to ask Travis every year whether or not he likes pumpkin pie. And same with pecan. I just can't remember. Your craft was so darling! You need to come Christmas-ify my house! And, I totally got your chanberry reference. Nice one.
