Kristi, Karl, Kylie, Elle and Cordie

Kristi and family arrived Wednesday afternoon and we made her special dinner - The Sandwich - which brought a comment about Kristi being special because we always make her The Sandwich every times she comes home.  She pointed out she is the only one who comes home every year.  Not to bust anyone's bubble but we like The Sandwich too and so it makes for a great excuse to have it when Kristi comes home.  It took almost 3 hours to make and is so loaded with meat and cheese that it isn't something we should have too often.  Sorry no pictures.

Then yesterday we got all the family together for Somemore's at Eric and Vanessa as they have a fire-pit.  What a day to build a fire - 105.  Besides the traditional Hershey chocolate bar, we also had Resses Peanut butter cups and square starbursts to combine with the roasted marshmallow and graham crackers.

Yesterday was also the beginning of Cenny's birthday cake.  Kristi didn't know she was going to be asked to make Cenny's birthday cake so she went shopping for all the things she would need and then had Amanda make four cakes to freeze to get ready.  She informed us that while she is putting the cake together we are not allowed in the kitchen and we are definitely  not to clean up while she is working.  This is not a nice picture of Kristi but it makes the point we all need to remember.  We are looking forward to one of her fantastic  cakes.

I think we got the point!
