Garrick's 5th Birthday!

Than saw the idea on a cooking show on PBS, and it sounded fun, and it looked really realistic. It was "burgers and fries." The bun is a yellow cake mix cooked in a tuna can, cut in half, the top was glazed with corn syrup and then sprinkled with seaseme seeds. The hamburger was a brownie cooked in a cookie sheet, then cut out using the tuna can. The fries where sugar cookies rolled thin and baked. The ketchup and mustard is yellow and "red" (it was pink really, I couldn't get it to turn red) frosting put in squeezy bottles. I think I got a bigger kick out of them then the kids did. Oh, and not show are the pickles (kiwi's sliced thin). The pickles where a big hit and disapeared fast before I could make my burger.
Top left corner and then clockwise is Madyson Mickelsen, Makenzie Mickelsen, Morgan Mickelsen, and Kody Gotfredson.

Garrick, Maren Gotfredson (who I do preschool with), Kody Gotfredson, and Jack Gotfredson.

All set up for the party!

"Quick grab the candy!"




Garrick blowing out his 5 candles on his "Burger."

Although short, fast, and to the point (start to finish was about 35 minutes) I think all had a good time. It's crazy that we now have a 5 year old! Next year is kindergarden. My how time flies!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! What a fun party, and AWESOME cake too!! Great job! I bet Garrick loved it all. I can't believe he is 5 yrs. old, has it really been THAT long since you were just pregnant with him? Whew, time flys!

Very impressive! I appreciate your post. A faster frame rate is preferable. When you're really playing a game, the refresh rate of the display does, in fact, limit the frame rate. For example, even if your computer can output 120 frames per second and you have an 80 Hz display, your screen can only display 80 different images per second.
