Devon's 20th B-day

Last Saturday we went to Jack and Kathi's to harvest the few remaining things in the garden. This is the ginormous carrot that we pulled out of the ground. Heather Rose claimed it for herself! She wasn't really able to bite it this way and ended up cuttign it up into bite-sized pieces.

Devon doing the clean up after his birthday dinner. We had the Irish boiled dinner with homemade soda bread. Almost everyone was there Seaneen, Vince, Anna and Dani. Bob, Heather and I. Brian and Heather. Grandma and Grandpa Walker even dropped in after their FHE dinner.

Devon with the card that we gave him. It says Happy Birthday Son.
We wrapped up a ratty old deck of Uno playing cards. He saw right through the disguise and opened the box to find the Walmart gift card that we hid there. Devon is moving back to Washington this week and we wanted him to be able to get anything that he needs when he gets there. He will be working at the Mill Plain Walmart and living with his brother Chris in Vancouver.

Brian and Heather got him a PC game that he loves "Portal". He looks pretty happy about it.

Heather Rose wanted to be the one to bring in the cake. It turned out really well. It is a layer of white cake with nutella and chopped pecans, then another layer of white cake with strawberry jam, followed by another layer of the cake some more nutella and chopped pecans topped of with the last layer of cake and covered in butter cream frosting. The Nutella makes the cake really rich, a little went a long way, if you know what I mean.

Finally a picture of Heather smiling in the silly way that we all love!
