Today was Kathleen's 4th birthday. We had a few neighbors over for a birthday party. We had some kid friendly food for supper. Of course, the kids were all too excited to eat very much, but the adults got to eat chicken strips, French fries, and meatball subs. Jason (Kathleen's dad) also brought over a noodle dish (not sure of the name.)I tried to find out what kind of cake she wanted. But she didn't want one. Instead of a cake, she wanted chocolate chip cookies and pink ice cream. At first she said she wanted princess ice cream, but I didn't think that could be located in Browning or Cut Bank. She decided pink would be OK. I found some Dora strawberry banana ice cream at Albertson's. Today she changed her mind, and said she wanted blue Cinderella ice cream. I was pretty sure that kind of ice cream does not exist!
I made lots of cookies. I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies yesterday. Then when I was at the store, I saw some Cherry Chips, and thought I would do another batch of cookies with those. I wasn't paying close enough attention to the recipe and didn't realize that it made 10 dozen. By the time I thought, "Wow, this is a lot of ingredients" it was too late to 1/2 the recipe. I had to finish them after the party tonight. The hospital staff will be happy tomorrow! ;)
The balloon center piece has lots of candy all around. It was hard for Caleb to keep his hands off of it. That is until Kathleen started opening her presents. Then he was occupied helping her-- as were Ian and Isabelle.
My sister Martha sent presents for each of the kids, so they all had something to open. That kept everyone happy. Now everyone is busy sleeping off their sugar high, and I am soon off to join them... after I get that last batch of cookies put away.

Margret makes cakes on a professional level, although I don't think she's ever gotten paid. She made both her daughters' wedding cakes, and their weddings were one or two weeks apart!
Anyway, for each of her grandchildren's birthdays, they get to pick what kind of cake she will make. Some of the funny ones are Andrew who turned five last month and doesn't pronounce R's yet. He had a "gween Lightening McQueen cake" which he talked about for weeks before and after. For Hannah's (a cousin) fifth birthday, she said she wanted a picture of herself looking out the window at a princess picking flowers. I think she got a Cinderella cake.
