Crawfish Boil

It's that time of year again...crawfish. It's been a while since we've had any so decided to have a big crawfish boil at our house. We couldn't have asked for better weather, it was beautiful. We were suppose to have scattered showers and possible severe thunderstorms but didn't get any rain :-). The sun was shining and there was even a cool breeze blowing. We had 21 people here and still had a little crawfish left over.

Landon spent the whole day playing with the live crawfish. He would carry them around and play in the mud with them. But, when it came time to cook them he had no problem throwing them in the pot. I was worried he would have a problem with seeing them cooked but he was okay. Kinley liked playing with them too but not as much as he did.
Jose' did most of the cooking but the other men helped him. Jose' is never happier than when he's cooking outside.
It happened to be my stepmother's sister's birthday so I made her a cake and we surprised her with that and some gifts. She was so happy! I made a huge cake and was so proud of it until it split all the way down the middle. So, it was ugly but sure tasted good!
Stephen and his college room mate stopped by on their way home from Gulf Shores. They were here for a couple of hours and then had to go back. I was so happy to see him!!
It was just a perfect day...so much fun!
