June 16th 2013--Father's Day! - Rio Rancho, NM

Today was father's day. Yesterday, Saturday, that is, while Dad was at work, the family was busy with preparations for today's celebrations. Seriah helped all the little kids make a banner with hand prints and footprints (using washable paint, of course!) declaring: HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Seriah also baked and decorated a chocolate cake (recipe to follow) with peanut butter frosting--Dad's favorite. Then she made little coffee mugs with fondant and put them on the cake around the words "Happy Father's Day" spelled out in coffee beans.(Can you tell what Dad's favorite thing is?) We had fun eating it that night for dessert after a barbecue supper. 

 
Here's a close up of the fondant replica of Dad's favorite travel mug.
 

 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
