Thanksgiving 2009

Jeremiah and I traveled down to Orange County for Thanksgiving this year. It was the very first time we ever had to travel anywhere! We thought we were incredibly lucky when we found out that our school day ended at 1:00 that day because we thought it meant that we would be on the road by 1:30, arriving in Cypress at 4:30...

Oops....

Again, it was our FIRST time traveling for Thanksgiving...now we understand why they say it is the busiest travel day of the year. We arrived at 7:00...

But it was WORTH it! We had a wonderful weekend! We saw our friends, played the Wii (Jeremiah is obsessed with it), and had great fellowship with our family. Below, enjoy the pictures of the table setting and the yummy desserts... there were so many of them! What a feast!

More Anniversary Celebrations

Perhaps it's non-traditional, but rather than store the top of our wedding cake in our freezer for a year, the Great Dane Bakery (the Bakery that made our wedding cake) promised us that they would make us a fresh cake for our first anniversary. (Turns out that we wouldn't have been able to save the cake anyhow due to the fact that we moved this summer!)

We had expected that the cake would be a miniature/palm-sized cake that would allow us each a few bites, so we were really surprised to see a pretty large cake in the box! And decorated too! Jeremiah ordered it with the same filling of our wedding cake: lemon with raspberry-lemon filling. It was DELICIOUS! And big enough to share with lots of people!















Thanks to Mom Napper, the flowers behind the cake were displayed at Cornerstone Church on our anniversary weekend. We weren't at that church service, but we got to enjoy their beauty when we came in for the holiday.














The reason we have two pictures of us is because the first one showcases Jeremiah's new and stylin' hat! :)
