WEEK IN REVIEW

Yet another birthday celebration occurred at the Ross household. Matt has officially turned 34 years old on Wednesday. After working, then a seminar, I hurried home to take Matt out to eat his birthday dinner. He chose Youngstown Crab Co. YUM!! We were half the crowd there. What a shame! I think the location kills it (and the high prices).Madeline felt all grown up ordering the salad and baked potato kid's meal. She loved it!!!
We returned to our house for gift giving, card exchanging, and icing making. Matt wouldn't commit to a dessert all week. I offered to make him buttercream icing on Tuesday night, but he refused saying that he would just eat it all. Once his birthday night rolled around and we were discussing dessert, he finally agreed to me whipping up a quick batch of icing. :) In his opinion, the cake is just filler. So I mounded the icing up into a volcano, put some candles into it, and we sang "happy birthday". The girls loved the idea!

The highlight of our weekend is when we took Madeline for her dance photos. I had to dress her all up in her recital costume with full makeup. She wasn't too thrilled with placing the eye makeup on, but we did get through it. Matt said it was like watching the pageant girls on Toddlers and Tiaras.
