Well I've been on blog hiatus! I'm sure you've noticed. But finally I've uploaded pictures and I'm ready to report. There has been SO much going on and for my own benefit I want to remember it all. So we are back tracking...really back tracking!

May 1st was Currey's birthday. Birthdays are a big deal at our house and we love celebrating together and with friends. This year Currey's birthday was a little different as we were about to move and he was graduating a week after his birthday. When I asked Currey how he wanted to celebrate this year he said dessert night with friends. Our sweet friend Amy knew our house was already in boxes and offered her apartment for our celebration. For birthdays I'll make whatever dessert Currey wants. This year he got 3!!! He has good taste and we enjoyed them all!

An Old Favorite


My mom makes Jello Pretzel Salad (and I'll be the first to admit that I don't have it mastered yet!) and it's one of Currey's favorites. If you've spent any time around my family you have probably had this at our house. It's a weird combo but absolutely delicious!

A New Favorite

I found this recipe for Eclair Cake online and it was amazing! We've had it several times since then and our friends have even begun requesting it.

A New Twist

We love Oreo ice cream cake and this was a cream cheese Oreo cake. Really yummy but incredibly rich. The candles made it!

Although I didn't get great pictures, we had a great time celebrating with friends from small group. It was great to spend time celebrating Currey and looking back over another year of growth and blessings. God has been so good to us this year and it was a treat to reflect and celebrate!
