A Birthday Bash

My first cricut creation...Taco's birthday card...

Waiting at the Palms for Taco to arrive...

he had NO idea!

Rebekah and Raegen with Pawpaw Dirty

The best part of a birthday at the Palms is this...

I am personally a fan of wearing a sombrero, being sung happy birthday in spanish, and being patted on the head. Make no mistake...the workers are not laughing with him.

I'm afraid he enjoys cake as much as his mama.

What a pair...

Rebekah was so sleepy, but she held up like a trooper. It was a lot of fun to watch her waddle around the restaurant. She's quite the walker, and Ashlyn's quite the talker!

Chocolate covered strawberries?! Does his mama love him or what?

Testing B to see if he was really sleeping or faking...

Taco informed me he would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a strawberry pie for his birthday. I informed him I had, had, HAD a recipe I'd torn out of the paper a few years ago and I never got around to trying it. What a perfect opportunity. The recipe called for everything to be made from scratch, but I said, "Scratch that, I'm buying a crust!" Actually, I already had one in the cabinet.

I was so excited to cut into this pie and see how perfect it was. But perfect it was not...

Not sure why it didn't firm up, but it tasted delicious!

I'll be making another soon, but first I'm off to bake a cake for cake class!
