As I mentioned in my previous post, Saturday was my MIL's birthday. I baked her a cake and made it cute with fresh summer colors of yellow and blue. It wasn't till I was all finished that I thought it looked a bit like something for a baby shower - didn't think about that when I decided on the color combo. But either way it turned out cute!
We took his Mom to dinner at Bonefish and it was so yummy!! Afterwards we came home for cake and coffee. Mike's Dad was out of town and his sister and her little boy were going to come over and join us for cake and presents, but his nephew fell asleep before they could get over to our house. So it was just the 3 of us, but it was kind of nice just to spend time with her!
Now for pictures!

{Flowers and I added a bumble bee. Isn't he cute?}
{Candy & Cake - what's better then that?}

{Perfect way to end then night . . . with cake and coffee! My MIL is a big coffee lover just like me! And like me, she LOVES chocolate . . so I was happy to bake a chocolate cake!}
{ We got her a Starbucks gift card that will last her a while and let her get lots of coffee - she LOVES Starbucks so much that they know her there and knows what she wants, ha ha! Then we got her a new workout outfit. She works out a lot and does Zumba and Pilates, so we knew she would enjoy having a new outfit!}
{Mike and his Mom. She is so tiny and weighs around 100 lbs. It's funny to look at them side by side and think that HE came from her! ha ha}
We had a wonderful night with her. She is so sweet and is always thinking of others, so it was nice to take her out and make the night all about her!
