Trip to Texas

This little guy's birthday is today. He's three! I went to Texas for a long weekend and got to go to his birthday party on Saturday. Since Mimi's birthday was yesterday, we celebrated hers as well.

I helped Laura make the cake (but really only mixed the icing!). The only safe and calm place on Saturday ended up being the laundry room.

Mimi was a great sport about sharing a Thomas the Train birthday cake.

And she quietly opened her presents in the background while Wesley had all the attention on him.

My cousin Audra even drove all the way from Dallas to Abilene just for a few hours of birthday party. Yay for three out of the five super cousins being together!

I only spent one day in Abilene and the rest in Austin. Was sad to have only a little time with family, but happy to have time to be with my church family and friends in Austin. I miss Texas and all of my friends and family there, but I do have to say that being back with my hubby in the lovely cool California weather made it nice to come home.
