I planned a birthday party for my mom a few weeks ago. My sister Lillian was visiting for Thanksgiving and it seemed like a good idea at the time.... Until mom got sick, and a bunch of guests were snowed in.
Regardless, we had a good time with family. I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing I call it a "chalkboard cake" for my mom who is a 5
th grade teacher.
Uncle Andrew with Kennedy, Jocelyn, and Charlotte who is 2 days younger than Levi, but is half his size.
Jeremy, Elena, Kaia, and Jamison are all saying "I'm making a mess" as per my request :)
Playing games with the
fam... Sorry Ryan, I had to put this picture in... I couldn't resist it since you look like a giant, clothed praying mantis.
Here is the cake! I made the apple, books, and the chalk out of fondant, the border is T
wix and raspberry sticks (which made cutting the cake a bit of a chore) But it was
sooo good.
And this is Lillian's masterpiece.
It's that time of year again when the Watson family gets together and makes graham cracker houses. Mostly we just eat the candy (check out Ted in the background) and talk, but we did manage to make some pretty sweet creations (literally). 
Paige and Kyle
Brays Reindeer
This is Paige and Kyles creation. I have to say it is my favorite.
My little cottage.
Reindeer poop... I am so juvenile
Julia, Ted, Sara and Jessica came out from Virginia to visit. It was so nice to see them. Here is Levi with Julia.
