We'd planned to have a party with some people from church the Saturday after Ben's birthday. As it turned out with the accident, Colin was released from the hospital Friday evening and of course we hadn't had time to get anything ready. Ben had been looking forward to this so we wanted to go ahead, but we also wanted to keep things simple. We picked up some pizza and I already had some cupcakes from Ben's snack day. I made up another batch and we picked up some mini M&Ms (thanks, Grandpa!) to add to the sprinkles and peppermint balls we happened to have on hand. We just ate the pizza and then took the kids out to the porch to decorate their cupcakes and sing happy birthday.
Quick Izzie, look at that!
Izzie was a little bewildered by the singing and candles, and had no idea what we wanted her to do with them.
But Ben took care of that...
Ben loved the cupcakes and the decorations. Izzie put a few M&Ms on hers but decided there was a more efficient way of doing things and eliminated the cupcake as middle man. I don't think she even took one bite of cupcake, but she ate a LOT of peppermint balls.
Just checking to see if these are good.
The masterpiece!

You have such a nice front porch for gatherings. I remember sitting out there and enjoying pizza on one of my trips to see you.
