Day 209 ~ Birthday Burger

The Birthday Burger

When Tina from Poppy's Place heard it was Karen's birthday, they put a candle on her burger and sang Happy Birthday. Later, Tina said they didn't serve dessert anymore which is why it wasn't on a cake.

See you tomorrow.

Day 208 ~ Do I look like a turtle?

The Turtle Pic

On Karen's birthday, we went to Poppy's place with her parents and Justin and Daniel. Justin took a picture of us and Karen, after seeing it, said, "take another one; you look like a turtle in this picture." Well, you tell me if she is right.

The Nice Pic

 Here's the picture where, apparently, I DON'T look like a turtle.

Day 205 ~ The Twin's Birthday!

Justin with his gift, a book of poems

Today is Justin and Matthew's 26th Birthday. Matthew said he does NOT want to appear on the internet so he is not included in this picture. Justin doesn't mind, though.

Happy Birthday Justin and Matthew!

We love you!

See you tomorrow.

Day 197 ~ More Pics of Birthday Hysteria!

A Birthday Wish being made

Here are some more pics of when we celebrated my father-in-law's birthday. As you see, he had no trouble blowing out the candles.

'twas delicious!

The cake was delicious! White and chocolate mouse cake. Yum!

Day 190 ~ The Man of the Hour!

The Birthday Boy!

Yesterday, we wen't to Poppy's place for my father-in -law's Birthday celebration. His wife, my dear mom-in-law, was feeling a bit under the weather so she stayed home. 

He is smiling because I paid for his lunch!

See you tomorrow!

Day 179 ~ Behold the Cake!

Behold the Cake!

Because of work schedules, we didn't have a "family" celebration of Daniel's Birthday until Saturday. Here is Daniel admiring his chocolate cake with all of its candles.

Daniel, Karen and Matthew went to BJ;s Club store to buy the cake while Justin and I picked up the pizza for dinner. All they had left was chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Not sure if that was Daniel's first choice.

Why Daniel decided to pick up each candle and blow them out individually is beyond me...but it's his birthday so he can do what he wants!

Happy Birhtday, Daniel...20 is  a good age to be.

See you tomorrow.

Day 172 ~ Daniel is Twenty Years Old!

The cake is on fire!

 Daniel turned 20 yesterday. Karen, sadly, had to work so we'll be having a family celebration with everyone later this week but we didn't want Daniel not to have a cake so Justin made one...

A MAN CAKE

 ...as you can see, Justin is not the best at putting frosting on but the cake was delicious! Thanks, Justin!
Justin called this a "man cake" given its appearance.

Eager to Eat

We sang "Happy Birthday" but I heard Matthew sing "Happy Tax day" instead. ha ha ha.

Happy Birthday, Daniel.

See you tomorrow.

Day 59~ Martha's Birthday!

Martha!

It was my mom-in-law's birthday yesterday! We celebrated in style with a fantastic cake and great coffee!

How old is Martha? You can ask her yourself, if you dare!

The cake was delicious and was procured at the local Shoprite! Who knew they had such a delicious bakery department?

Happy Birthday, Martha! Many, many more!

See you tomorrow.

Day 29 ~ A Birthday Celebration!

Sara, about to blow out the Candles

Last week, before Thanksgiving, our family to to "Grandma's house" to sing Happy Birthday to Sara. Now it is true that Sara's birthday was on Veteran's day (Nov 11th) so it was some time ago but she was at school at the time and she missed having a cake with the family.  So, we did it up big!

....it seems like only yesterday that Sara was a little tike like this....

In the pool, yelling for her dog, Spike

I realize I don't have any digital pictures of my kids when they were really young. Or, at least, I can't find them! The picture above was for a story I wrote and was trying to make a "picture book" using photos. I never completed the project.

hanging around, eating cake!

Since Sara was the birthday girl, she chose the cake. The one she liked is Tiramisu. I am not a big fan but it's her day so that's what we ate. I had a little bit and couldn't finish it.

Happy birthday, Sara! 

See you, tomorrow!
