I Love Cake!

Mom is great....gives us the chocolate cake! :) (You have to had seen the old Bill Cosby Himself clip to really appreciate that line!) Yesterday was Family Day! I made the cake that Mr. Man so specifically requested....Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Frosting, White Letters, & our family drawn on top! Dunkin Hines....Yum! Simple, yet Classic! It turned out pretty well, if I should say so myself! Here is a picture.....

Here is Lil D licking the mixing spoon! :)

The Finished Product! YUMMY!



The best part of family day was at the end when we were tucking in Dakota. He wanted to talk....so we did! We talked about several things, but the thing that makes me smile is when he told us why he loves us both.... Mom - "Because she takes care of me when I'm sick" Dad - "wrestles with me!". When I asked him today why we celebrated yesterday, his reply was "Because you got me and you adopted me because you loved me & I want to stay here forever. Now we're a FAMILY!" :0) I love that he truly GETS IT!

Today I am doing laundry & I set my menu for Thanksgiving. We are having my parents & brother & niece over.

Here's the Menu:

Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Corn
Macaroni & Cheese (the real good kind that you bake in the oven!)
HomeMade Cranberry Sauce
Rolls/Butter
Pumpkin Pie
Apple or some other kind of pie
Veggie Tray

Hopefully everyone will like it! Now I need to make my grocery list!

Ok, I will end today with a totally random picture of my dog Champ. We were watching a movie the other night & Dakota got off of his little couch thing & sat with me. After a few minutes, this is what we saw.....

How cute is he???!!!!
