Birthday Cards

 First, I need to show off this pistachio birthday cake.  No, I didn't make it.  A friend made it for his wife's 65th birthday and brought it to our house as his contribution for dessert.  It was luscious.


Wednesday I spent the morning making three birthday cards.  We have three February birthdays in the family.

In the first week of February are birthdays for Granddaughter #1 who is turning 12,



and followed in three days by Granddaughter #4.  When I asked her on Tuesday during FaceTime storytime how old she will be she said seven!  Then she said four and tried to put up her thumb and three fingers.  I showed her how to just hold up four fingers and fold in her thumb.



The second week of February my son in law, Matt has a birthday.  He'll be 45!
