A Birthday Pan-Cake!

H turned 7!!! Here she is with her birthday pan-cake. Pancakes are her favorite food, so we agreed to have them for her birthday supper. When we thought of all the sugar involved in a pancake supper AND a birthday cake, we were a little unsure. Then we thought of a birthday cake made up of a stack of pancakes! H loved it, and no one mentioned missing a "cake". So we called the kids to supper and served up this stack of cakes, with the top one decorate with frosting and a "7" candle. H got the top pancake of course!!! And T outdid himself with the pancakes - each as big as a big plate! Thank goodness he has the patience for that!!!

H can be a hard kid to buy for. She's not really a dolls or toys kind of kid... She was asking for a pet, but we weren't really interested in that option. So we started talking about flowers. My mom gave us some help in selecting a hardy variety! So H got some planters, soil, flowers, seeds, a watering can, and a trowel and rake. She is very, very excited about it all. She can take care of them, water them, pick them, whatever she wants, because they are HERS. :) Whew! Another birthday gift nailed!
