Happy Birthday

Today was Manda's birthday and Doug and I went down and took care of the twins for a few hours while she and Andrew went for a nice bike ride.  They discovered that a little restaurant they like had it's outdoor area open so they had some lunch and a drink.  A real treat these days.  

This picture is a favorite of mine from her babyhood. I reconstructed a quilt that her grandma made for her when she was a baby and that was my gift to her.  I meant to photograph it, but I forgot.  I also made her some luscious chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate ganache cream cheese frosting.  No pictures of that either.  I'm not a good blipper!!  But I do my best.
