Chris's Birthday Celebrations

Chris was able to celebrate his birthday this year in various places!  First of all, we celebrated in Paraguay.  The kids and I made him a cake and decorated it at the SIM house.  We made chocolate coffee cake with chocolate icing- yummy! 




The only thing we had to decorate it with was colorful sprinkles and redhots!  It was an interesting combination, but the thought it was fabulous and that Chris would love it.



I kind of felt bad for the people eating it because Walker's finger tended push the redhots about an inch into the cake!  And I lost count of how many times he licked his fingers and then put on some more candies!


We took the cake to our Wednesday night Bible study to share in the celebration with our church family. 


Every sang "Happy Birthday" and Chris got to blow out his candle.

Then when we got to Florida, we celebrated with Chris's family.  It has been several years since we have been able to celebrate birthdays with our families so close to the actual date of the event!  All the kids were loving on him and getting ready for some cake!


He had an ice cream cake- yummy again!

And then when we made it to Tennessee, Chris got to share a birthday celebration with our nephew, Garrett, who was turning 14!  And, my dad, who was turning a little older than before.


More yummy ice cream cake!


One of the blessings of moving back to the U.S.- celebrating birthdays with family!  And multiple times!
