Grandpa's bday

Seems any excuse we have now to cook or bake brings out the equipment--both baking and the camera!

With Grandpa's b-day the day before my due date, we didn't want to take a chance in trying to go out, but we did plan on the traditional homemade pizza and cake (chocolate) for Grandpa.  Beanie wasted no time in getting all the ingredients for me and getting started--

We timed it so that it baked and cooled during naptime.  Amara woke from her nap ready to decorate!  First the icing, with a little help from dad--

Then the really important part, the sprinkles and candles, to make it really super special for Grandpa.

After our dinner and dessert, it was present time.  We got dad a hat with LED lighting on it, that he'd asked for, and Amara got him a big bag of his favorite mini-tootsie pops for his truck--an ongoing joke between them.  We had a great time, Amara loved playing hostess, and we know Grandpa really loved all his treats! 

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
