Another friend made this incredible stacked turtle cake, which was beautiful. Yes, that’s a real, edible cake in the lower right hand corner. And chocolate turtle candies, of course.
Here’s some pics from our Fourth of July Weekend. Hope yours was great!
(and see the banner above the window panes? Those are just flags from the parade laid out next to each other. Can’t get much easier than that!)
They’re getting bigger! And Turbo (yes, we’ve named and photographed the turkey) is SO cute and friendly, that he worked his way right off the Thanksgiving menu and onto the pet-roster. He’s obviously smarter than we thought.
