Brent and I have been in the Olympia, Washington area celebrating our granddaughter’s second birthday. We especially enjoyed this visit because our daughter-in-law’s parents were able to be there, too.
Mommy Heather had some super cute ideas for the birthday cake and party. We all pitched in for the fun prep work. Observe the goateed “Celebrity Chef” as he assists with cake batter production.
Heather’s mom made the frosting. Later, Brent assembled and frosted the cake. Can you tell it’s a tree trunk? Heather placed a candy “bunny butt” as if the little guy were diving into his burrow beneath.
The men soon got the grill going, and before you know it, some neighbors arrived with little friends for the kids to play with.
After a yummy lunch, it was time for Daddy to light the candles. This appears to be a matter of some concern for Birthday Girl and her brother.
Everyone had a great time visiting, playing, and relaxing.
Thanks for coming to the party with me! I only wish I could have saved you some cake.
Thanks for reading,
Jan
PS: I’ll tell you about our other adventures next time.
