Aunt Mauray's Birthday

We threw a birthday party for Aunt Mauray with Dan and Becky on October 11th at our house. I made her a "Too Much Chocolate Cake" which in my opinion is the best chocolate cake on the planet! She brought her Fry Daddy for making onion rings (!) and put me in charge of them. They are so good, I tend to eat more than I should....I learned it the hard way that night when my stomach felt like it was full of oil, ugh! The kids love Aunt Mauray so much, they blew out the candles for her...how nice. :/

No, Aunt Mauray is not 11, but her birthday is on the 11th. :) This year it was on 10-11-12!!

All the kids are right there to "help"!

Looking at Tilly, this card must have been very exciting!

 

 Dan and Becky gave her this hat and Fiona made sure it was worthy of wearing. :)

I think it passed the test of being cute enough...
