Happy Birthday Shianne!

Saturday (October 10) Justin and I got up early, against both of our wills. My niece, Shianne had a basketball game at 945, so we had to leave by 915, and I needed to shower and get ready before that.

We made it to the gym before Shianne was even there! (I was rather impressed with us for that!) We watched the games. During the games we hung out with Jeremiah (my nephew) and my brother and sister-in-law and their friends. I went to high school with Dustin, a guy who lives with my brother and sister-in-law. So we were talking to him. He asked me what delicious dessert I made for my niece's birthday party (which was later on Saturday). I told him I didn't make anything because no one asked me but that I had made a delicious Blueberry Streusel Cobbler the night before. So I promised him I would bring him a piece when I came to the birthday party.

After the games were done we went back to my parent's house. I put together dinner (it needed to marinate) and we played another game of Monopoly. We have discovered we have a mutual love for that game. :) While we were playing the game, I made a necklace and bracelet for Shianne for her birthday. She always seems to love it when I make her jewelry, and we all know I love making it.

So, we went with my parents to Shianne's party. AND we were early! We are NEVER early for family functions, yet I was twice in one day! We had cake and ice cream, Shianne opened her gifts. We played with her and Jeremiah for a bit, and watched Jeremiah fight with EVERYONE there. When we left the birthday party we went to Ken's to get some groceries that we forgot.

We went home and Justin and I made dinner. It was delicious. Probably my favorite recipes of the weekend. After dinner, Justin and I started dessert, made more candy and put together breakfast. It needed to refrigerate for the night. When we were done making all of our stuff, we played one more game of Monopoly before going to bed.
