G's Birthday Weekend

This was the conversation when I went to wake G up on Friday morning.

Me:  G, it's time to wake up.

G:  Mommy, am I fee (three) now?

Me:  Yes, honey. Happy Birthday!

G: Can I have choclate cher-o cerall (Chocolate Cheerio cereal)?

Me:  You sure can!

You see, while I was getting my hair cut the night before, J took the kids to the grocery store and let G pick out her special birthday cereal.  Her selection this year was Chocolate Cheerios...which she thoroughly enjoyed :)

C approved!

After C went to school, G and I worked on her birthday cake.  Her request:  a Pink Chocolate Cake.  I made this Too Much Chocolate Cake cake recipe (YUM and SOOOOOOO easy!).

Later that afternoon, Mom and Hayden (my nephew) arrived.  We had a great time playing. For supper we ate pizza (And since it was my birthday too, J let me order one with bell peppers and black olives without giving me any grief...yeah!)

Saturday morning, I finished up her cake using Wilton's Buttercream recipe (tinted pink - of course).  Then off to the ball field for C's T-Ball game.  After the game, we got ready for the party. My cousin was kind enough to bring one of those bounce-house things so the kids really had a GREAT time!

And of course, they enjoyed the swings!  My Uncle Rusty is SUCH a good sport - I'm pretty sure he spent 2 hours pushing swings :)

J made burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  Per G's request, our side was Macaroni and Cheese and chips.  Then on to birthday cake and ice cream.

It was a really fun day!  So thankful for G and the family and friends who were able to join us!
