 we went up to see Mama Bear's family for her brother's wedding!  Goldilocks and Curly Bear enjoyed playing outside after the long car ride.  We went up a day early so that I could work on stacking the wedding cake.  I baked the layers, filled it, and gave them crumb coatings at home, then took the icing and everything else I needed with us.  My dad helped cut the dowels for the cake, and my mom helped wave the crazy gnats away while I worked.  Papa Bear helped by going to Sonic.  I lost count of how many times he went to Sonic over the weekend.

Finally, I got a nice smooth layer of icing and the border on the cake - flowers will be put on the morning of the wedding :)
