Labor Day Weekend, 2009

We spent last year's labor day weekend up at Nik's families lake house to celebrate Katherine and Matt's wedding with the folks up there. We had a big cookout and I got to make the cake as well as Mexican wedding cookies. It was a really nice, relaxing weekend as it always is at the lake. I really love the little bit of time I get to spend up there. Here are some pictures from that trip:

The (if I do say so myself) delicious chocolate cake I made.

The fire pit and bench that Natalie and Katherine built at the little cabin.

And Nik and I happened to be wearing red and green.






Ivan and Susan left the day before us "kids," so someone had to cook dinner :)
