Vacation Part 1

The first part of our vacation was quiet and uneventful. We had to get a couple new suitcases, because the ones we had were finally wearing out. So this is Eli and Nathan *helping* me pack. Our flight was good, and getting whisked up to the front of the security line just because I had kids was awesome! They were both well behaved, but a little bored, so we survived.

The day after we got in just happened to be my birthday. My mom (and Eli) made me this beautiful cake with strawberry jam in the middle. It was actually 4 layers as my mom cut 2 round cakes in 1/2. It was SO good. Thank you Mom!!!
