"You're 5 Like Me!": Part II

So Grama Shari turned 5 like Libby too! Now Libby, Grammy, and Papa are all 5! Next year, they'll all be 6! The kids decided they wanted to make Grammy a queen cake for her birthday, but from the above photo it's safe to say it didn't quite happen that way! Libby and I spent the afternoon baking a queen cake for Grammy while Maison was at a birthday party. She worked very hard and didn't get too many egg shells in the batter! (I picked most of them out, but what's a little crunch in a cake?) We put it into the oven, baked it, let it cool, and when we went to flip it...Well it broke in half and the top half ended up staying in the pan! I don't know who cried more, me or Libs!

So in a mad dash we headed to the store and there it was. The perfect cake...a giraffe! And you know what even made it better? It was on sale! WOOT WOOT! What happened to the broken queen cake? Well, we ate it for breakfast and lunch, with just enough left over for Maison to bring some to Grammy's party. (He doesn't like white cake) It was a BYOC party (bring your own cake).

Grammy got lots of great cards and gifts! Papa bought her some ruby earrings and we bought her a birthday outfit for her giraffe!
