Don't worry . . .

I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon to become a professional cake decorator. Please don't let this end up on Cakewrecks.com! And my skills with frosting are in no way proportionate to how much I love my friend Rachel. (It's supposed to look like a scrapbook page. Skittle brads, frosting rubons, etc.)

Mandi and her cute "friend" Colin
A little backstory for this next picture. Josh and Mandi have a long-standing tradition of giving each other hilarious gifts for Christmas. It all started with the Sponge-Bob slippers that Mandi gave Josh. The next year Josh retaliated with a huge poster of the rapper 50 Cent with Napoleon Dynamite's head on his body. It only deteriorated from there. In December Mandi and Colin came over to watch Christmas Vacation with us. During the part where Clark Griswold is stuck in the attic watching old home movies Mandi commented how nice Josh would look wearing a teal turban. Josh laughed and said, "Mandi, if you can find me one of those, I will wear it all day on Christmas." Silly boy, challenging Mandi to find the tackiest, most outrageous gift on the planet. It took her all of three minutes to locate one online the next day. So Josh had to wear the turban to the party. Not his sexiest look. :)
Me, Mandi, Colleen and Rachel

You did a fabulous job on the cake! Me and E shared some last night and before he took a bite, he just HAD to sing 'Happy Birthday'. The last line of the song was "and now we can eat cake!"
