The Richardson's: Someone Turns 58

March 13th this year marked my Dad's 58th birthday. We all got together on Sunday to celebrate. We met at Julie and Kevin's house to play and open presents, then we ate dinner at Red Robin in Des Moines, and then went back to my sister's house again for some yummy cake. It's always fun getting together and as usual I took lots of pictures.

My Dad looking at the cards that Ava and Isaiah made him.

Ava watching Grandpa open his present...a J Crew gift card.

Miss Isabelle was helping Grandpa open a Disney shirt, Mickey Mouse coffee scoop, and magnets from her.

Three adorable cousins!

The rare picture of Julie and myself. We always seem to take all the pictures and very few with us ever make it onto our blogs.

Ava and Isaiah love putting their car seats into Isabelle's car when we go places. Isabelle loves having her big cousins ride with her.

At Red Robin, Isaiah was impressed by the onion ring tower. That kid loves his onion rings!

My parents have this tradition that they make a chocolate twinkie cake for each other every year. I think they heard this recipe on the radio years and years and years ago and ever since have made this for EVERY birthday. It's really good!

Make a wish...

...blow out the candles! Happy B-Day Dad and Grandpa!

These little ones were loving the cake and ice cream!

Me and my Dad!

Apparently everyone likes changing into pajamas later in the evening...so that's what Grandma, Grandpa, Ava, Isaiah, and Isabelle did.

How cute are these two munchkins!

Miss Isabelle wearing Grandpa's Dale hat...I'm sure you've heard of the two chipmunks "Chip" and "Dale." Here's a bit of trivia for you...do you know how to tell one from the other? Chip as a black/brown nose like a chocolate chip and Dale has a red nose. You learn something new every day!
