Everyone, not just the grandmas, enjoy playing with Benny boy! He is going to be so spoiled by the time we leave! I blame them entirely! Lol!
For my mom's birthday, we went out to eat at her favorite restaurant, a Thai food place called Siam Garden! It was delicious!!
Then we went back home for dessert!
I made a chocolate cake with strawberry and banana filling. The frosting was mixed cool whip and Nutella! I decorated the top with white melting chocolate.
The 2nd dessert was my version of Strawberry Shortcake, except I used strawberry cake mix instead of Angel Food cake (which I regret, but I didn't want to go to the store for a box of cake mix so I used what we had at the house. I know, I'm lazy.) I also used some of the extra chocolate hearts leftover from the cake.
To make the best Strawberry Shortcake:
1. Make Angel Food Cake cupcakes!
2. Chop fresh strawberries and mix with cool whip/whip cream in a bowl.
3. Layer strawberry/whip cream mixture, cupcake, a swirl of whip cream, and a heart-shaped strawberry in a clear cup. 4. Yummy!
After dessert, my mom opened her presents and Ben tried to help!
On Saturday we celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday! For lunch we had pizza at my in-laws favorite place, then we went to the beach and had a relaxing time!
Ben did better than I expected with the sand and loved walking on the beach (as long as the water wasn't higher than his itty-bitty ankles)!
We collected shells and fed the sea gulls then had a delicious but, oh so unhealthy, fish 'n chips dinner! Before we left, grandpa bought 2 Shark Attack slices. It's a delicious 7-layer chocolate cake. It's one of Jon's and Jera's favorite desserts. (Someday I'll get the recipe right and share it!)
Have a great day!!! And enjoy the sun and outdoors (if you live somewhere that you can)!
