Being Goofy |
We celebrated Jeannine's birthday tonight. What a joyful evening we had together with my 'sister' and my mom's 'second daughter'.
Jeannine and Momma S. |
Gift for Superhero Jeannine |
We wanted Jeannine to feel like a million bucks and like the Diva in Charge (her nickname) that she is. :)
Seafood Kabobs |
Mom's seafood extravaganza dinner was amazing.
Yum! |
As was the fresh asparagus from the market.
Spinach Salad |
And the fresh spinach from the market.
Eight Candles Since That is Our Fave Number |
We topped off dinner with a flourless chocolate cake that I was able to help Mom bake this afternoon. I have so much to learn about baking and cooking, but I'm so excited to even feel well enough to begin learning some things. Today, Mom got a laugh out of me trying to separate the eggs.
In the past, I would not have been able to help Mom at all, and I would have rested all day until dinner.
This Cake Was A Hit! |
Even though separating eggs is not my forte yet, the cake tasted amazing.
Someone Liked Her Gift |
In addition, I felt well enough to wrap up Jeannine's gift and make her card. I'm savoring every single moment, every single victory, every single joy--most especially the joy of the three of us being able to enjoy such a wonderful evening together laughing, talking, eating, and not worrying about me being too sick to enjoy it.
Birthday Rainbow |
We even had a double rainbow today just as Jeannine walked over to our house for dinner.
BFFs |
Our Memorial Day weekend is off to a good start.
Make a Wish! |
We wish Jeannine all the blessings a year can hold. We love you, J.
Happy Birthday!
Blessings,
Emily
