Happy Birthday Daddy!

Just a few short weeks after Mommy's birthday, it was time for Daddy's birthday!  I was having a lot of fun with all this birthday celebrating.  Unfortunately Daddy's special day fell smack in the middle of the week, so we couldn't devote a whole day to him, but we did our best!  The night before his day, Mommy and I baked him a giant cookie, like the ones at the mall!  It was a peanut butter cookie with little Reese's Peanut Butter cups mixed in!

First we had to measure out all the ingredients and put them into individual bowls.




Then we started the mixer and added the ingredients one-by-one!




(Of course I had to sneak in some quality control tests!)



Once the cookie was baking and the icing was made, it was time to color it.
I chose green and yellow for Daddy's birthday cookie.



When Mommy got home the next day, on Daddy's birthday,
we had to hurry to decorate it before Daddy got home!








Happy Birthday Daddy Jer!!



I had insisted all day long that Daddy needed balloons for his birthday.  So Grangie and Paw-Paw Mike took me to the party store to get some.  I got six green balloons - I insisted on having one for each of us.  After we all went to dinner at Sammy's to celebrate, we came home to have cake and let Daddy open his presents.  Madeline LOVED the balloons!  She was crazy silly over them!
