Happy Birthday, Sam

Sam had a birthday! We took the kids to HuHot, which they liked & he got a free meal. Leah tried new foods - like baby corn & water chestnuts. She was not particularly a fan :P  But it was fun. Sam's folks are keeping the kids this weekend so we can go out & maybe watch a movie. 

Leah & James & I decorated cupcakes: 

Grandma Mary gave us red sprinkles made with vegetable juice instead of red 40 & I tried out a stencil trick with parchment paper from tiktok. The kids were disappointed there weren't 42 candles. 

And then I made a draft of these, back from his 39th birthday in the old house! It was easier to blow out the one candle.
