Weekend Celebrations!
We had some celebrations this weekend. It was Bob's birthday on the 9th, so Saturday night we celebrated Bob's birthday and Fathers Day.
Alaina stayed overnight on Friday night and was my helper on Saturday. She was quite proud of the cake after she put the sprinkles on. She walked around the room showing everyone how pretty her cake was.
She also helped get apples ready for apple pie. She was very excited to use the apple peeler/corer/slicer, and kept telling me "I can do that for you Grandma!" She turned the handle, and I did the cutting. We make a good team. :)
We had my Dad and stepmom over for dinner on Fathers Day. He had been sick for a few weeks prior, but is now feeling well. We had a nice time together and that pie was delicious!
Alaina has the most joyful smile! She is so cute with the apples and also with HER cake!!! So happy your dad and step mom could be with you for this special weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear your dad is better and that you all enjoyed a double celebration! Alaina can certainly be proud of 'her' beautifully sprinkled cake! I used to have one of those apple peelers from Pampered Chef. Not sure what happened to it, unless it went in a garage sale.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Alaina is adorable.
Mari, glad you had such a great time today.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good day was had by all. Alaina's pretty cake was a hit I am sure. Glad you got to spend time with your Dad on his special day.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, she is getting so big! What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Alaina is a good helper! That cake looks good, and I'm sure it was a wonderful day to celebrate with a fun family like yours appears to be!
ReplyDeleteAlaina is doing a great job for you. She looks cute with her innocent face and smile. She is very happy to help you. Your father and stepmother looks happy. Beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteAlaina, the baker!!! She did a terrific job decorating.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Bob too.
Love the photo last...that is terrific. And the beautiful hot pink looks fantastic on her. I hope your dad continues to feel well.
I'll tell you what, Alaina sure knows how to light up the world. Smiles and many Blessings (Happy Belated Birthday to Bob and Happy Fathers Day)
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to have such a sweet little kitchen helper :)

Alaina is such a cutie pie. I love it when the grands want to help me when they are over, such special times. What a cute picture of your dad and step-mom and I'm glad your dad is better.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely little helper! I'm happy to hear that your dad is feeling well, he looks very happy in that picture :)
ReplyDeletei just love all the things Alaina is a helper with. So much fun having a little one around
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo cracks me up. You could think of some really fun speech bubbles to put on that one....lol....
Sounds like a lovely weekend! And how wonderful to have such an adorable helper working away with you in the kitchen. ;) She could not be any cuter with that proud face carrying around the cake.
ReplyDeleteBirthday blessings to Bob & Happy Father's Day too (& your Dad too!)
xoxo
Happy birthday Bob.....looks like you have a real little helper there.
ReplyDeleteFinally came and checked on blogland. Loved this one, especially the interaction with Alaina. What blessed children your grands are with grandparents like you guys.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I can smell and taste that apple pie -- lots of cinnamon, I hope -- and Alaina is right: That was some cake. I love how she enjoys life. It's good to see your dad feeling well. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI just get such a kick out of Alaina! I'm sure she brings y'all such joy!
ReplyDeleteI know that phrase well, "I can do that for you Mumma! I can help with that Mumma!" She has such a helpers heart, not to mention she loves to get her hands in things. Love that picture of Grandpa and Anne too - they're so cute!
