Birthday Season
Yesterday was my little boy's ninth birthday. Happy Birthday Evan!!! Tomorrrow is my sister's. Happy Birthday Sister!!! Since Evan was born he has shared his birthday parties with my littlest sister (or rather she has shared hers with him) since their birthdays fall only two days apart. Right here at the end of February, birthday season is in full swing and we all celebrate like crazy.
Evan started his day with birthday pancakes (sprinkles, sprinkles, sprinkles, and melted frosting in place of the syrup), topped with trick candles.
Then we read birthday cards...
Opened birthday legos...
And ogled birthday cake (this birthday cake road suffered an earthquake on its hour long car ride). We all had our fill of mini make your own pizzas, cool and creamy pasta salad, and buttercream frosting. We sang the birthday song and laughed the birthday laughs and just plain old enjoyed each others birthday company.
The birthday boy and girl blew out the birthday candles (look how cute my Super Mommy is in the background blowing the candles out, too), and we called it a Happy BirthDay.
Birthday Buttercream Frosting
Ingredients
2 sticks of butter, softened
3 cups of confectioners sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons heavy cream (more if needed to get frosting to desired consistency)
To Make
Beat together butter and confectioners sugar for 3 minutes at a medium speed. Then beat in the vanilla and the heavy cream. Whip the ingredients on medium for another minute and then high for about 30 seconds. Add more cream if your frosting needs to be more creamy.
Love the sprinkles and candles on the pancakes! Let's get this party started! Happy Birthday to you your beautiful family!
Thank you so much! Sprinkle pancakes were a hit. It might have to be a new tradition.
Happy Birthday to the Wee Man and your sis!! He's a handsome lad 😉
Lovely post Heather...warm fuzzies :-))
Thanks so much!
Happy birthday to your babies and happy Labor Day to you! Looks like a fun and delicious day!
Thank you! It was a pretty good bit of work, but loads of fun. And gave me a good excuse to unwind with a couple nice glasses of wine.
That was a really fun birthday party! Thanks for tracking all that food up to our place. The pizzas were super delicious....and Chuck nailed the cake last night. I helped a little. Evan seemed to have a really great time. His pictures are so cute. What a sweetie.
Thanks, Momma. The food was a fun little change. We had such a good time. We still have a ton of cake in the fridge... any takers?
Love this family food celebration 😀
And gorgeous pancakes!
