Birthdays & Dutch Oven Cake

Since we went camping the 2nd weekend

in April,

we got to include a celebration for

my brother Dave's birthday (the 13th)

and Ben's birthday (the 15th)

Instead of the usual birthday cake,

we enjoyed Dutch Oven Chocolate Chip Cake!

Ad you can see by Anna's face,

it was YUMMY!

I also got to redeem myself for years
of bad gifts to my husband...
gifts that he "needed"
gifts that were "practical"
gifts that were really for the whole family,
like a tie organizer,
a camping stove,
clothes he never wears...


I surprised him with something
he really wanted and didn't expect.


It was fun.


What was it? I don't really know...
some cool thing for his diesel truck!!!


All that matters is he loved it!

It is about time.
