I love my family

I was fortunate enough my visit to see almost all of my family. And because I was away for my birthday everyone agreed to come to a belated birthday party! A new discovery was made this visit.... I LOVE cooking with my Mom! We had so much fun coming up with things to make.. not to mention her house makes cooking easy! She has everything! I'm used to a sauce pan, two skillets, a mixing bowl, and a spatula. no no Pam has it all. So we concocted lots of good food, including this lovely Giada birthday cake!

This was the first visit in which Gwyn decided I wasn't the babysitter and that she "wanted to hold me" ha! Her is very cute... although she is a little disheveled for Gwyn in this picture... she is always very done up, I was witness to her primping as she got ready with me every morning.

Kennan took my camera to take pictures of me blowing out my cake.... she snapped a few around the room and I love the pics. It really captures a night at my parents with us all there. Most the Williams feel inclined to strike a pose.... but those cheesy smiles aren't all spontaneous.. its just the atmosphere!
