Well Todd had a terrific birthday. We had a few of his friends over for burgers & hot dogs. It was a nice turn-out & a lot of fun. Ava made him wear this hat- if you look closely it says "Birthday Girl" -he wouldn't disappoint his girls even at the cost of a little manhood. :) The birthday cake I made was with Todd in mind, and it was yummy! It's an interpretation of Ooey-Googy Caramel Cake found in the Better Homes & Garden's Recipe Book. I, of course, added a few yummy additions. The chocolate is ganache- which is really easy to make, and the caramel was replaced by Dulce De Leche- which takes 8 hours to cook in a crock pot. There were bits of Toffee, too. It was great. It's a cake for a crowd that will finish a cake- and we did, because it will only last 24 hours & then it's just mush. Todd took the last piece for lunch today. Anyhow, it's a keeper.
Ava got her stitches out easy peasy & is back to her adventurous self. You can click on her face to see it upclose- note that we had just put ointment on it. :)
So today was suppose to be the zoo with the playgroup but I think we'll just take it easy.
Hope everyone has a terrific day!

Even if she does have a scar in her eyebrow, I doubt anyone would notice. They would just see her big, beautiful, blue eyes. She is a doll - I hope it continues to heal well.
Tell Todd Happy B-day :-)
