Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday, August 7, 2011
Reason for title?...I am listening to that song as we speak and it IS indeed Sunday! Clever eh? :]  ha ha, yes, I really am that odd.
Oh and for the record, I am not a U2 fan. 

Today was the WHOLE family get together for my dad's birthday celebration. Yes, as I posted previously, we did go to dinner. But the whole family couldn't make it that day so we decided on Sunday Brunch at my grandparent's house as well.  Those who attended were me, Ryan(bro), Dad, Aunt Jennifer, Dan and Haley(aunt and uncle), and my grandparents.  We had some great food!  Hash browns, bacon,—although I do prefer turkey bacon over pork, but it was good!—eggs, fresh fruit and french toast made from Cranberry Walnut Bread my grandma got from the Farmers Market.  Although I am not a cranberry fan at all, it was all very tasty.

Dad opened a few gifts and then a few hours later we all had a piece of a cake that I made for him.  Now don't get too excited there. I didn't have enough time to make it from scratch (which I have only done once in my life and I needed tons of help from my dad throughout all of it. Man it's tough) so I got a box Lemon Cake Mix and store bought Vanilla Whipped Cream Cheese frosting. But I did buy fresh blueberries and put them in the batter. Dad is a blueberry lover :D  Unfortunately the blueberries just rested at the bottom of the cake!  Oh well, it was still pretty good!

Here is the last piece of lonely cake in the glass pan. Terrible photograph; it was spur of the moment. But take my word for it that it was actually really good.
 

The remainder of the day I had to clean the bathroom and my room which is part of my usual Sunday on my Dad's weekend.


Also, this is my new shirt!  I dig it :D  I did have to flip the pic so the writing wouldn't be opposite.
Who doesn't love trees?!





Until next time!
