Grandpa's Birthday

Grandma had surgery on her nose and was recovering during Grandpa's birthday. We decided to drive down to take care of Grandma and keep her company. We also wanted Grandpa to have a decent birthday dinner/party.

Grandpa wanted to make his cake with the kids. He let them pick the flavor of the cake and frosting.

He let the kids do everything! He was so patient when they cracked the eggs too hard and yoke oozed down the corner of the counter. Or when McKenna spilled some oil on the counter.

He taught Hunter about preheating the oven.

They all enjoyed a taste of strawberry cake batter. What a fun time with Grandpa!
I made him chicken enchiladas and a card. The kids sang "Give Said the Little Stream" ('string' in Hunter's case). It was fun to visit with Grandma. I don't know how much taking care of her we really did with all our noise and messes.
