March 2017 Celebrations

We managed to fit three different celebrations into the month of March. Two for C and one for Great Papa Dean. We were out of town for Clara's princess party earlier in the month and the boys are still a little bummed they missed out. On C's actual Birthday we went over to her house for pizza and cupcakes with Nonna. Pepe was out of town so the following weekend Sunday dinner turned into a second Birthday party and Gran, Papa, and Aunt Di Di were able to join us. C is one of the boys' favorite people and I'm pretty sure not even two Birthday parties is enough for them to celebrate her the way they'd like!!!

Last week Uncle Mark and Aunt Penny hosted a family Birthday dinner for Great Papa Dean's 89th Birthday. He has been a bit under the weather the last few weeks so everyone was happy that he rallied and was able to celebrate his Birthday with us. The boys and I made chocolate cupcakes for the group. It was a new recipe and called for pureed avocado. The kids thought that this secret ingredient was hilarious and couldn't wait to tell everyone. Unfortunately I made the mistake of saying the batter looked like poop when we were mixing it together and Kieran decided that he should let everyone at the party in on our secret ingredient and then announced that it was poop!!! Thank goodness Reed was quick to correct K and then spent a while explaining his Birthday drawing to Great Grandma Didi and Great Papa Dean.
