Maggie's birthday

Maggie turned two without a lot of fan fair.  Family from across the country sent packages... and before we could eat dinner the present were opened.  She took it very seriously and didn't break between gifts.  We had a simple meal of chicken nuggets with home-made honey mustard sauce and a side of cabbage salad.   Somewhere during clean-up I realized our dishwasher was broken... what I thought would be a 15 minute detour slowly turned into an hour... until, it was getting late.  So I bagged my man project and finished decorating the cake, angel-food from scratch with fresh strawberries, whip cream and cookie crumbs. Maggie quickly dispensed with the candles and before we knew it were we all eating cake, that is... all of us except Maggie, who had pushed it aside to eat the ice cream.

Maggie was all business

Intermission between presents

Back to work

All in a days work

Come on Mom, we have got work to do

Ahh, finally I found what I was looking for...

perfect for my sweet tooth.

No trick candles here!
