CF/Family Reunion/G & J Birthdays

We went to Cedar Falls a few weeks ago to have a family reuinion with Mom's family. It was so nice to see almost all my cousins, aunts, uncles, Grandma, etc. Here is an attempt at getting a good picture of Grandma with her 15 great-grandchildren. I would say it turned out ok considering they are all 7 years or younger!
Since my whole family was together, we had a birthday celebration for Grant and Julia. Although Grant's birthday party with his friends will be a conifer theme (no kidding - he's been asking for months), I didn't think Hy-Vee had that option, so we went with pirates. Grant LOVED his cake. This is how I expected to Julia to react with her cake... see below for actual results.Julia liked touching the cake, but wouldn't taste it. I finally put some in her mouth and...

YUCK! This buttercream frosting is GROSS! Seriously, she wanted that cake as far away from her as possible. It was a delicious cake! And I should know since I ate the whole thing :)Mom and Baby Ryan. After seeing Julia's reaction to her cake, Darci and Todd let Ryan have some. He, of course, loved it. Here are the Machacek boys. I'm sure they are always this sweet to each other!
