On Wednesday we celebrated our grandson’s 8th birthday.  We decided on a pizza party and got a couple of pizzas and I also made an “Italian salad.” But it being a birthday I really needed to come up with some sort of candle blowing dessert.  Our daughter pointed out that kids don’t really care how “real” a cake and frosting is so I went with a box cake and a tub of frosting. I am not proud of this but both grandkids ate two cupcakes and did not seem offended by my meager offering. Plus I left the extras behind so there was no chance that anyone at our house we eat any more.

Happy 8th birthday, Sam!
