Weekend with Katy & David

This weekend Opa and I stayed with Katy and David while Mommy and Daddy went to Chicago for Cindy and Chan's wedding.  We got to Columbus on Thursday night, and it was a wild and crazy time on Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday.

On Saturday morning, I French-braided Katy's hair.  It looked really pretty . . . for about a half an hour.  Oh, well!

We started planning a party for Mary and Matthew and Aunt Mel for Saturday night when we got there.  The party was actually dinner on Saturday night, which Opa cooked.  It was pork loin and baked potato and glazed carrots and bread.  YUMMY!  However, Katy was in charge of DESSERT.  We went to Kroger on Saturday morning to get food; and Katy picked out a marvelous Funfetti cake mix and white frosting and M&M's for decoration on our cake.  When we returned to the house, the baking and fun began!

Here Katy wears her apron and helps crack eggs and add ingredients to make the cake.  She is such a good helper!

Licking the spatula after you get the batter into the pan is part of the bakling process.  Katy particularly like this part of the process.  :-)

David was extremely helpful in the icing process.  He really likes almost anything that has to do with food.  His favorite part is eating, but he also likes to help.

After all that cooking, it was time for some romping and playing with Opa in the living room.  Nothing makes you feel better like a game of being tossed in the air or turned upside down!

Finally, the party started when Mary and Matthew arrived.  They showed Katy the pictures that Oma had brought and told her who all the people were in the pictures!  Cool!

After the party started, Katy put a bazillion M&M's on the cake for decoration.  It was a perfect party, and a perfect dessert, too!

On Sunday, we went walking with Aunt Mel in the morning, and then Katy and Opa made a run to Half Price Books.  When they came back, it was a perfect time for some Hopscotch on the driveway.  Katy is getting really good at this game!
