Joan on the Road

What do you think he just did?

Yep! Finger in the frosting. It runs in the family! I'm so glad we could be here for this special occasion. Evan was napping when we arrived so he was a little grumpy for the first few minutes. But soon his cousins came and that got him going.

Naomi and Brad had their new apartment all set up and comfy. Naomi asked that everyone bring a dish to go with cold chicken and it turned out we had a wonderful buffet. Brad's mom brought goulash (hamburger, creamettes, tomatoes and secret ingredients), son Jim made a beautiful watermelon fruit bowl, we took my spinach casserole and Renee brought dips, chips, and rolls. No one went home hungry.

We made a stab at watching the Presidential debate but soon agreed that a 3 year old's birthday was way more important. He took awhile opening gifts because he wanted to play with and try out every gift as he opened it. So that took awhile but he had fun.

I don't know where the cake came from but it was sure delicious. Chocolate filled with cream and topped with fluffy frosting. Evan was very excited and happy as we sang to him but then didn't want cake....just wanted to play with new toys. The train set from his Grandpa and Grandma was a real hit.

All in all ...we had another great family evening. That's what we enjoy about being here in Hemet...even though it is pretty darn hot!
