Fun weekend

This weekend we went over to Neenah for my Grandma's birthday. We had a great time visiting and meeting the newest member of our family - Laura's daughter Sadie. Friday night we had a coffee cake making contest. My Grandma makes this delicious coffee cake, and some of the aunts started talking about needing to learn how to make it like Grandma's. So, we decided to have a contest to see whose was the closest to hers. There were 8 coffee cakes, and we went around and sampled a piece of each. The winner was my cousin Sarah - the most people thought hers was Grandma's, and my mom - the most people thought hers tasted closest to Grandma's. Grandma didn't even pick out her own! I think we've all had our fill of coffee cake for a while!

The winners
Four generations - Grandma, Mom, Aunt Sandy, Laura, Sadie, Me and Jocelyn

Saturday we went to visit some friends, then went shopping at an outlet mall, and then hung out again on Saturday night. They had a little birthday party for Jocelyn on Saturday. We sang happy birthday, she got to open a present, and she got to eat a birthday cupcake. The video says it all - she LOVES cupcakes. It's a little bouncy because I was laughing so hard!

She tried to touch the flame and obviously didn't get how to blow out the candle, but she thought it was funny anyway!
She really enjoyed opening her present - tissue paper is fun! She didn't care about what was inside!



Uncle Tom & Jocelyn - he tried to help her, and she gave him the meanest look - she thought he was trying to take it away!






She has started walking more and more. She really walked a lot on Saturday when we were visiting our friends - there was a little 2 year old girl there, so I think Jocelyn wanted to be like her. She's still a little wobbly, and still prefers crawling, but if you stand her up, she'll walk until she falls down.
