We survived another round of birthdays and I am officially pizza-ed and caked out. It started last Sunday with Auntie Gail's birthday party, then Andrew's birthday on Wednesday.

| The only thing he wanted for his birthday was the game Busy, Busy Airport. He was thrilled. |
Andrew's favorite past times are watching TV, playing
abcya.com, and playing games on the ipad. When he is sadly not allowed any of the above, he settles for playing board games, playing Car Patrol of Car City with his cars, or reading books and magazines. He also likes to help me cook and really likes jokes, but don't ask him to tell you one.
Auntie Gail gave us a gift certificate for a birthday party at a bowling alley, so we invited two other families from the ward and had a party on Saturday. He wanted a minion theme and said it was his best birthday ever.

| Hooray for Pinterest. I figured nothing represents our family better than bananas. |

| How toddlers bowl. Adults help by giving it an extra push. |
My favorite 2-year old's birthday was on Sunday. I was pretty tired of cake and decorating by this point so I made a simple one layer yellow cake, the recipe for which I plan to post to
Donning My Apron at some point, and turned it into a butterfly.
 |
| It was supposed to be purple, but it looks more like the Play-Doh the kids mixed all together. |
 |
| She's not sad, she's blowing. It got the hair out of her face, but didn't work so well for candles. |
 |
| Cutie. |
In case you're wondering what Grace is like at two years old, she loves puzzles, play-doh, coloring, baby dolls, building with blocks, and our neighbor Madison. She is wild and crazy and wants to do everything the big kids do, including using the potty (hooray!), and is starting to sing a lot. She sang herself to sleep last night with "happy birthday to you" over and over and over.
I am looking forward to spending less time in the kitchen this week and hopefully more time on the couch or possibly outside if it ever decides to be spring here.

Do you let your kids choose their birthday dinner? I'm not that generous.
I'm curious why I shouldn't ask him to tell me a joke. Is he bad at it, or are the jokes bad?
You better keep up your reputation of awesome birthday party thrower.
I also look forward to spending time on the couch.
