Happy Birthday to Papa

We had quite a crew here yesterday (Sunday) to celebrate Michael's birthday. Michael's actual birthday (Friday) didn't work out since we were at the cabin, C & J were at the temple and Melinda had work. My mom is here visiting so she helped celebrate. Melinda and Landan came up after church and Bret had driven up by way of our house Saturday for a job interview in Seattle so we were just missing Lynette and Laura to have our family complete.

We gathered after a busy Sunday and enjoyed cheeseburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, chips and lemonade. Michael's favorite is devil's food cake with dark fudge frosting so that's what we had along with chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
Ty's favorite part of the celebration was when Michael opened up one of my gifts (a bag of bing cherries) and you could hear "Happy Birthday to You" from the little electronic chip that was attached to the closure. So what were we to do but to open it again so Ty could hear the song again. He'd look at the open bag and try to figure out where the sound was coming from (cue photo op for Carynn). I don't know that he could place where the sound originated but we obliged him by opening and closing the bag numerous times (to the groans of the rest of the family) so he could enjoy it.

Ty especially enjoyed the vanilla ice cream and kept saying "Peas" for more. I kept giving him just little bites more. After all he was being so polite. It's my job, right?

Have I said how much I enjoy being his Nana?
