Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday. We went to his house for dinner and Ethan gave him these:

Birthday cake and presents

And I gave him these:


Homemade caramels . . . YUM!


As a side note, I think I really like making candy.
And my mom made this:

Homemade cheesecake!
Ethan picked out the candles too. He thought of it all on his own and wanted very badly for Bapa to have the five eight candles! We had fun celebrating!
Happy Birthday Dad!

Rachel,
Thank you for all you guys did to make my birthday special. I love the caramels and I scanned the pictures Ethan made so I would have them.

Love you!
Dad

Carrie, if you guys are coming for Christmas, I'd totally love to make the caramels again. And probably fudge too!

Way to go on the caramels!

The caramels look absolutely mouth watering! I make butterfingers and peanut butter cups at Christmas time--they are Grandma's recipe. Do you have them?

Rachel said...

No, but I would totally LOVE those recipes! If it's easiest, give them to Em and she can pass them along to me. That would be so awesome!
