We celebrated both at home… Rick was preparing to go to China in just a few days, some of the younger kids were already missing him and so we wanted some quiet family time.
Grilled corn, deviled eggs
the best baked beans and stained glass jello
Grilled burgers and hot dogs
We enjoyed our space on the deck and out in the yard.
For dessert there were red, white and blue cupcakes that looked prettier than they tasted.
Spooky found a comfy perch.
The kids wanted me to make a birthday cake for myself so they helped.
I tried a ghost cake and I decided I really like it in cupcake form only. The kids said I should have a balloon cake and I like how it turned out. I love being creative for the kids but have a harder time with just myself. I like their ideas.
Before Rick left for China he surprised me with flowers.
