Dear Sis,

We spent the weekend with Mom, her parents, Great and Pop, and mom’s new boyfriend Dave. They arrived in time to have a festive dinner with us Friday evening. 

This is a two tier round cake with the edges of the top tier rounded. I used Swiss Buttercream to frost the cake and Fondant to shape the facial features, hooves, and tail of the piggy. The tail is formed around a pipe cleaner cut in half, so that it would hold its shape without collapsing. 

On Saturday, we enjoyed a family lunch at Bob Evans, followed by a walk on one of the many trails at Rentschler Forest Park.

Charlotte is perfectly great grandparent paced:) 

After our walk, we visited Chisholm MetroPark and enjoyed the historic house, play ground, and a visit to the chickens. We retired to a few hours at the house so the kids and grandparents could have some downtime before our cookout at the bed and breakfast. Josh got off work and arrived just in time for dinner!

Great and Dave are on either side of William. He really enjoyed paling around with the boys with Gran and Great prepared dinner over the campfire. 

We enjoyed another two hours with our visitors Sunday morning, before they had to begin their long drive back home. Before they left, Dave was kind enough to help us get a nice family picture.

It was a nice visit!

Love,

b
