Auntie Birthdays

It was a busy week full of Auntie birthdays! Auntie Manda turned 26 on May 7, Aunt TT turned 28 on May 10, and Auntie Carissa turned 23 on May 11. We were fortunate to celebrate their birthdays at three fun parties full of yummy food!

Auntie Manda and the delicious fried ice cream cake Grams made. She also made buffalo chicken lettuce wraps and had some awesome vegetable appetizers/sides!


Little man loved the ice cream!

TT was in town for her 10 year high school reunion so we had the privilege of celebrating her birthday with her! We had an orange party:) 


My Mom made Mexican casserole, guacamole, and corn/bean salsa, Bry and Reesie brought Sangria and bean dip, and I was in charge of the dessert. I made this ombre coconut cream cake and coconut cream pie. The cake took A LONG time, but was well worth it.....SO YUMMY! I had some issues making enough coconut buttercream icing (my Kitchen Aid stand mixer and hand mixer both quit on me), but I got the cake together. I definitely learned a lot from the project!:) 



Cado "helping" TT


Great Grandpa Verschoor is back from Galveston and got to meet Andie!

Cado cracking Poppi up with his crazy talk!


Auntie Manda and Grams combine efforts to make Auntie Carissa's delicious dinner - marinated flank steak, twice baked cauliflower, zucchini  and berries. G!G! made her famous homemade ice cream and chocolate syrup for dessert...SO GOOD!
