Happy Half Birthday, Cannon!

I had a little party on Sunday with just my parents, siblings and family. I know some of you may consider it not a major thing, for some reason I am SO excited for 6 months. We are half-way to a year and why not celebrate?

I made my very first non-sheet cake. I'm a bit proud of it if I do say so. It was a canolli cake. Canolli is an Italian pastry tube filled with creamy goodness, it's also a little nickname we have for Cannon. I thought it was fitting... also it was yummy.

We ate baked potatoes and homemade chili. Very good and perfect for a cold day. We also had a crisp salad and rolls.

My parents even brought gifts... a big teddy bear and Cannon's stocking that my mom and I were working on. Okay, she mostly worked on it. I ironed! Have I mentioned my mom is amazing? For some reason I didn't get a picture of Megan. SORRY MEG! I put together a little slide show in iphoto. It was kind of long and I tried to upload it to youtube to no avail. I'll keep trying because I really worked hard on it and I'd love to share it. Maybe you'll get the condensed version. :)

We really had a lot of fun. It was just nice to share my excitement with my whole family. They were excited too and didn't think a half-birthday party was weird at all. That's why I love them.
Happy Half Birthday Big Boy!

Happy Half Birthday Cannon! I love your Adobe Photoshop Ashley...I am tempted to do away with my scrapbooks, and do it all on the computer with photoshop, it looks so good! I bet you have a lot of fun with it!
