Practice

Tim's parents came to visit for the weekend. Since Kate has been obsessing about her upcoming birthday, and the grandparents won't be able to come to the party, we all decided (with much enthusiasm by a certain blonde girl) to celebrate early. Grandmother and granddaughter began by baking a cake, which Kate thought was the most exciting thing she had done in ages. In her defense, it was probably the most exciting thing she's done in a long time.

Reading the instructions. She mumbled something about adding milk and eggs.



Little fingerprints.




Sprinkles. Most ended up in the middle of the cake.

Cake with 8 (that's how many she requested) candles, and presents.

We miss you already, Mom & Dad!

I love it when Grandma bakes with the grandkids! It's so special. I can't wait for our turn, too.
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Looks like fun! I love cake and would like for someone to come bake one with me too!! Aren't cravings supposed to end with birth?

Sweet UW propaganda.

And I am just not ready for Kate to be three (or eight for that matter). She needs to stop growing up.

I loved these pictures, especially the fingerprint cake one.
