That gave us more time to make her a cake--red velvet, which is her favorite. The cake was from a box mix, but the frosting was homemade cream cheese.
I let Henry decorate with sprinkles. Nick had the job of adding chocolate chips. Lots of chocolate chips.
The triumph of the finished product was well-earned. I think this cake turned out exceptionally well, considering it was decorated by a five-year-old and a two-year-old.
We celebrated by eating the frosting, but we made everyone wait until Thursday for the actual birthday celebration. In the meantime, the boys helped me pick out pictures for a card.
Greg drew a really cool picture using colored pencils. It is of a courtyard we visited last year in Gatlinburg, TN and Grandma Toni really liked it, so that was her birthday present.
Nick drew Grandma a picture too, just like Daddy.
After presents, it was time for cake. I found special candles with colored flames.
The boys helped Grandma blow out her candles.
Everyone was happy to have some cake. . .
. . . but no one was more excited than Henry. He looked a little like a vampire with all that red velvet cake on his chin.
I think Grandma had a good birthday. :) The boys sure had fun trying to make it special.
