Allen's Birthday and Mother's Day

Unfortunately for Allen his birthday will always be linked with Mother's Day. There is just no way around it when you are born on the day. So this year even though his birthday didn't fall on the same day as Mother's Day we still celebrated both together- with both families too. Everyone was spoiled, especially Allen. On Sunday, Grandma George, Uncle Trevor, Aunt Carrie and Kambrya all came over for dinner and to celebrate. Danny was going to use all of his dutch ovens and make a magnificent meal for us. One the I wouldn't have to cook too. Well, the weather had other ideas, and it rained all day long. So, scratch that idea. We had lasagna, rolls and a fruit salad instead. For dessert Aunt Carrie made an awesome birthday cake for Allen, which looked and tasted amazing! After dinner we opened presents for all mom's and for Allen.

Today, on Allen's actual birthday, we got together with Grandpa and Grandma Waite, Uncle Tim and Aunt Jenelle and celebrated Mother's Day, Allen's birthday and Jenelle's birthday. We first had a yummy dinner of pizza - which I think Allen might have eaten more of than his cake. Then we opened Mother's Day gifts, and then Allen's presents and then Jenelle's. Then we ate cake and ice cream. We have lots of cake leftover. I wish that I knew more people around here so that I could give it away, or better yet invite them over to share. I made Allen a train cake. Which was a lot of fun making and putting together. Either the cake was just real easy to do this time, or I am getting better at making birthday cakes. Hopefully, a little of both. Anyway, on to the pictures.
