Happy Birthday Andrew
Yesterday was Andrew’s 20th birthday we had a nice family dinner and celebration for him.
I baked him a white cake with strawberry filling and chocolate icing.
Delicious red wine he brought home from his trip to Italy. I wish I could read Italian. We really enjoyed this bottle.
Strawberry wine Normand bought in Ponchatoula last year. Not our favorite wine. Very sweet
Joanna just loves birthdays.
For his birthday dinner we had a beautiful green salad, steamed broccoli and a big ole pan of homemade lasagna. ( Sorry didn’t get pics of the meal. It was oh so delicious.

Black and Gold Birthday Tablescape
Thursday is Andrew’s 20th birthday so while I was in a black and gold mood I decided to see if I could come up with a black and gold tablescape. It turns out I could.
My mother-in-law’s sterling silver King Edward Oneida
Crystal d’arques Longchamps my wedding crystal
Andrew was born on Superbowl Sunday 1990 and he has always been a Saints fan. It looks like he will be in Miami on the day of the game gettin the NFL experience. He won’t be going to the game but will be going to some of the festivities leading up to it.
Go Saints!
Who Dat?
I’m linking to Metamorphosis Monday
Today I decided that we need a little black and gold around here to celebrate the upcoming black and gold superbowl. Not wanting to spend any money to do this I looked around the house and this is what I came up with.
Straw Wreath, Mardi Gras Mask, Fleur d Lis, gold ribbon and a black tablecloth
Mardi Gras Beads, black boa, Mardi Gras Mask
Nasty old tin tray
Tray and Mardi Gras Masks
Walmart gold spraypaint
Chalk Board Paint
Faith and Hope leads to Belief
I wrapped the straw wreath with a black tablecloth, Christmas beads and added a boa & gold ribbon bow, fleur d lis and made over Mardi Gras masks. I love how it came out.
I used a paint pin on the masks.
Black and Gold Superbowl Dat's What!!!!!!!!!!

This past Friday the kids and I spent the afternoon going to a few flea markets with Katy and Erica. I found a couple of things and we spent a pleasant afternoon with people we love.
The girls always have a great time what ever we do. Nothing like playin hooky on a Friday afternoon.

TENNESSEE TRAIL MIX
Last weekend Andrew, Jeanne and Jessica went to a swim meet in Memphis, TN. Andrew and his friend Greg decided to make some trail mix for the trip. It turned out not to be your conventional trail mix. I’m just glad I wasn’t on the bus with the 20 or so teenagers who consumed this stuff. They had a great time at the meet. Andrew really hasn’t trained in months and swam well in the meet. He even won an event.
