Let the Celebrating Begin!

Today was a very special day because today we began my dad's birthday celebration! You see, his birthday is really tomorrow, June 10th, but one can never celebrate too much when it comes to this wonderful guy I like
to call, "Dad".  (okay, so some of you know that I call him Dada or Mama right now, but same difference right?)

And this birthday celebration was extra special because all of Grandpa Mark's family came in from out of town and even Uncle Matt came down from Seattle...and Avi and Abuela drove up from San Diego!!

Luckily, my Grandma Karen is a great chef and she was able to cook some amazing food for all of us. But best of all was her coconut cream tart. It was so beautiful, we had to take a picture of it. Want to see what it looked like?

 MMMMMM.......DELICIOUS!!

 Dad wasted no time. He swooped it right up and began eating it off the floor!



























While the adults went back to the dining room to eat the coconut mush, I surveyed the area and came up with a clean-up plan.






























However, this mess was far too big for me to clean alone, so I enlisted the help of a trusty friend.

 

We cleaned up that dessert disaster lickety-split!

And just when everyone thought the dessert had been ruined. Grandma Karen walked out of the kitchen with this...

 ......another coconut tart!! I think my Grandma Karen is just pure magic. I wonder what other tricks she's got up her sleeve. (can she bring unicorns over to my house, or can she make it rain blueberries and grapes everyday?)



After dessert, it was Dad's turn to open his present. I must admit, I got a little mad at Mom because she wouldn't let me throw it on the ground like I wanted to. ....And good thing I didn't because Dad and I unwrapped and Ipad!!!

                    Happy Birthday, Dad!! You're way cooler this year than you were last year.
