Yesterday was my birthday - actually a milestone birthday - so my daughter in law and wee ones came over to celebrate with us! I made a nice dinner (I know, I know - but I love cooking, so it's not a chore for me to do it!!) And Karla made the Cup Cakes!
Karla always makes the cutest cup cakes, they are honestly a gift themselves!
And of course, how do you decorate for Grandma?
Why ~ a garden of course! Wait til you see these up close!
Soil made of crushed Oreo's, with the cream intact!
A head of lettuce with a mint M&M and Corn Flakes dipped in green frosting on top!
Radishes and Carrots made with Sour Balls, Corn Flakes, a bit of frosting, rolled Starburst - Cute!
And, three peas in a pod, again using taffy, frosting and sour balls! Aren't they just the cutest?!
And, while the cup cakes are the cutest, these three little ones are the apple of my eye!
I love how Karla makes these, because she puts a thin layer of frosting on them to help them adhere, not a ton, so you can actually eat the entire cup cake! They picked out a lovely card, it honestly brought tears to my eyes, as did my Sweetie's!
They only stayed one night - Bible Study Camp was having an evening of fun tonight they were so excited to get to - "Nerd Night!"

Wishing you all a Happy Wednesday - the weekend is fast approaching. I'm trying to change the font on my blog, so hang in with me! Had the kids over and needed all the time for storing up Grandma lovin' till I see them in a couple of weeks!
Blessings to all!
