Happy Birthday Cheri!!!

Today is Cheri's birthday, but with everyone's work and school schedule we decided to celebrate it yesterday at our house. We actually started off the morning extra special because Andy received the Melchizedek Priesthood!! We are SO proud of him! He's planning on going on a mission by August so this was an exciting step. Unfortunately we forgot to snatch a picture of him, but we did get one of the boys with their matching ties...we bought the ties a long time ago, but Carter finally grew into it. :-)

After the setting apart, everyone came to our house for dinner, presents, and dessert. Everything tasted wonderful, and it was so fun to be together as a family. Cheri is such a wonderful mom, grandma, and friend and we loved celebrating this day with her. Carter enjoyed helping Grandma open her presents, especially when he found the candy bars.

Cheri loves custard pie so Christina kept up the tradition from last year and made a custard pie from scratch. Steve also LOVES custard so they were both super happy. The rest of the group enjoyed a fantastic strawberry angel food cake that Angela "made". It was divine! Besides Carter being super cranky since he didn't want to take a nap in fear that he would miss something, the day was perfect. The sun even came out after a previous day of lots of rain and snow. We are so blessed and it's times like this that help remind us of our loving Heavenly Father.
