MARCH 3 BIRTHDAY

 

We went to a Mexican Restaurant, and I ordered a steak and Margaria - well it was my birthday after all.
Grandson had them come serenade me. 
I was NOT expecting it.

                                            This is an eternity bracelet for a GREAT GRANDMA - thank you M.

Now this had to be the nicest gift of all.  LOL.  I love strawberry cake and real strawberry icing.
Daughter didn't want to make a 'whole' cake, so she made a half cake in an aluminum pan. 
So sweet and perfect size.

She put it in the oven for the exact amount of time, and it was not baking.  So, she left in in 45 minutes. Then finally took it out!

We needed to cover it.

We looked HIGH and we LOOKED low for the lid.

We looked in the trash - we looked everywhere.

Well, I decided to test it out (haha).

I tried to cut into it and it would not let me cut the bottom!

In fact, two red pieces of plastic came out.

????????????

I thought maybe she left a plastic spoon in there?




Oh my gosh - the lid for the pan was never taken out of the pan.

This is what it looked like baked and still with the price tag on it.


So, I had a strawberry cake baked in plastic!

It was so very thoughtful of her, and so funny.  

We all had a big laugh.

Afterall it is the thought that counts.

M had her first playdate.  Her friend is three days younger than she is.
They had the same pj's and they are not twins.
M is on the left.

Let me tell you and I am NOT prejudice - she is the sweetest and happiest baby I have ever met in my life.  



Some words of wisdom:

Do you sit there and think - I will be so glad when this is over, and this happens.  

Then it happens and you think - I will be so glad when this is over, and this happens.

Then that happens and you think - I will be so glad when this is over, and this happens.

Get my drift here?

Be happy wherever you are, because IT WILL CHANGE!  

So even if you are older, be happy where you are, because . . .

you could end up looking like this!

(Grandson did it.)
