Big 24

Yesterday was Geoffrey's Birthday! I had to ask him how old he was turning because after you pass the 21 mark, who keeps track anymore? I don't even know how old I am usually! Geoff can't stand being center of attention so I was told I couldn't tell anyone at church it was his b-day. Haha and now I am writing about him on our blog... :-) Everyone who knows Geoff, knows that he is super sarcastic and a little weird...aka dances to Disney songs and rocking out in the car. Even though he is silly, he is such a wonderful husband! I couldn't ask for anyone better!! 

Saturday I woke up and spent almost all day making Geoff's cake. It was fun, especially since it was my first time to make fondant, but I made a TON! I thought a lot more people were going to help us eat it! Ahhhhh! We still have half of it in the fridge. Here are a few pictures during the process of making it. 

I used a super easy and yummy recipe for fondant from Pinterest. Marshmallow Fondant

Since Geoff got Legos for Christmas I thought it would be appropriate to make him a Lego cake. 

And Geoff's masterpiece (space shuttle) was my inspiration.... mine doesn't look as good but al least you can eat it! 

For everyone who wasn't able to join Geoff on his special day, you can take a peek at some of the festivities. 

Christmas morning

Geoff came home at 7 A.M. from an ovrnighter at work. This was our first Christmas alone together. Breakfast and presents took half an hour and then Geoffrey plopped into bed and slept till he had to go back to work at 2. 

Even though we weren't home for Christmas, we flew out the day after Christmas and was able to spend the week with them!

Tulsa Zoo hasn't changed but was fun to have a little kid with us this time, instead of making up an excuse to go by ourselves.

Silly Monkies!

Llamas

Otters

Turtles

Seeing all the animals made us hungry. I made muddy buddies and asked these dancers to finish coating them with powder sugar.

That night at dinner my mother noticed I had pink eye.... let's just say someone forgot to tell the family they had it until after the party was over... and I got it.  I had to keep my distance from everyone and always santize and wash my hands. What a great way to spend vacation! Not! You can kinda tell in this picture. I had to throw away all my make up. so I will be having to make an expensive trip to the store soon when all of this is over with.

Christmas wouldn't be the same without a volleyball game.

And then once I got a good set, Geoff had to do this....

Then New Year's Eve. Party with thr boys.
