St. G

We spent UEA weekend at St. George with the Martins.  

We stayed in an awesome condo, celebrated Taunya's birthday, hiked Snow Canyon & Dixie Rock, stopped at Swig, went swimming, watched movies, played games, ate a lot of great food and swooned over the twins.  (sadly I lost more than half my pics...boo hoo)  I had great pictures of everything and everyone.  These Snow Canyon shots will have to do...

 Thank you G&G Martin for a wonderful weekend!

Liv's actual birthday was over a school holiday so she got to lunch with her dad. 

Olivia wanted to celebrate with her friends with a baking party.

Every girl got a box to take her goodies home in.

They also got an apron to wear during the party and then to take home.

Before the madness...

Liv's sweet friends!

 We started with a memory game with baking supplies.

Then we decorated some chocolate cookies.  

Then some cupcakes.

We took a break from decorating and had a little baking relay race.

We also played a cookie cutter matching game.

We ended the party by letting the girls make their own "creation."  I had a bunch of baking ingredients on the table and let them go crazy.  They loved cracking eggs and comparing recipes.

 A peek into a goodie box.

Cupcakes, chocolate cookies, chocolate chip cookie and cake pops.

Happy Birthday "SWEET" Olivia!
