The Big Day

Yesterday was The Big Day. The day Mr Karate and Rubylocks got married.

 

Mom got her hair done.

Mr Karate got his hair cut. (Here he is with his uncle, Mr Cabinetmaker.)

Everybody got dressed up.

Even me.

(However I was very upset to see this pretty bow was designed for -gasp- woofies.)

This is the first time since 1998 that Mim-may has had all four of her children in the same place at the same time.

This is Mr Karate and his cousins, PlusOne and Pretty Girl.

Mr Karate cried when Rubylocks came into view. PlusOne was the Best Man.

Rubylocks was beautiful. The day was perfect.

I was in attendance, as you can see.

Mom took this selfie.

Everybody had a good time.

Me too.

Super Saturday

I have been exploring. It's pretty cool around here.

There is going to be a big party here later.

 Mom and the Pretty Girl went swimming. (Needless to say I did NOT do that.)

Mr Karate went swimming too.

 I would love to climb this little house, but Mom says I can't.

There's always tomorrow!

Planning Ahead

Mr Karate & Rubylocks have asked Mom to cook something when the Big Fam gets together for The Big Day. (Which by the way, will take place here.) The Big Fam will be together for several days, and Mom will make this for dessert one evening.

It is chocolate between two pieces of toasted angel food cake.  It is a crowd-pleaser and very easy to make. Mom and I posted about it several years ago, and you can see how it is made here.

This is how good Mom things it is.    (She loves it even though she is making a funny face.)

 It does indeed smell quite wonderful, but I cannot have chocolate. I asked Mom if we could change things up a bit and replace the chocolate with, say BEEF, or 'Nip...

Mom said NO WAY. Thus I am giving her the butt of shame.
