Birthday cake!\u00a0 Doesn’t the birthday cake look beautiful?!\u00a0 Grandma Kay made the cake and did the main layer of frosting and Brina added all the colorful frosting and goodies to the cake.\u00a0 It looked pretty and tasted delicious! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The girls had a four day birthday weekend since they didn’t have school on Friday or Monday so we made a quick trip up to Vermont to spend some time with Jake’s Mom and grandparents.\u00a0 We celebrated the girls birthday during our visit which was a lot of fun.\u00a0 The girls enjoyed spending time with their grandparents.\u00a0 It was a great trip packed full of a lot of good memories.\u00a0 Grandma Kay gave Brina some good tips on cake decorating which Brina loved (she was tickled pink that Grandma let her decorate their birthday cake).<\/p>\n
