Aunt Mauray's Birthday Party

On Monday, we had an early Birthday party for Aunt Mauray, since she was flying to California to go visit her parents on Tuesday (her real Birthday). We had 2 different kinds of egg casseroles, fruit, sausage, coffee, orange juice and the best part...HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS!!!! They were delicious! I could swim with my mouth open in that cinnamon sauce! :)

Aunt Mauray and Matilda.

Dad and Dan made mini espressos for their breakfast. Their fingers barely fit through the holes of the cups!

You wish...

Aunt Mauray brought two zucchinis for Becky and Mom. Preston pretended that it was a club!

I thought these pictures of the fruit salad looked cool. =)

Bennett was trying to eat this picture...

The egg casserole!

We all took very small bites when we ate these, because we wanted to enjoy every last bit!!

The cinnamon rolls were our cake!

Bennett tried some espresso.

Opening presents!

About a week ago, we got a big load of firewood that came on a semi-truck. We are sharing the load with Dan and Becky and half of it is supposed to last us a couple of years! Dad has been cutting all the wood with the chainsaw and the kids have been moving the chunks with a sled.  Dad is almost done with Dan and Becky's pile.

Practicing for winter.

Dad has dug even further into the root cellar, so now half of the mud room is supported by two posts!! :O
