birthday celebration

When I came home for dinner tonight, Marek and his Grandma had made a birthday cake from scratch for Marek's stuffed animal, "Num". As you can see, Marek helped decorate the cake. It was so sweet to watch. Marek was so proud of himself! He sang happy birthday to Num, had the dog make a wish and then he blew out the candle. Right before we ate our slices of cake, Marek announced that he wanted to say a prayer. He said, "Thank you God for everything. Thank you God for cake and sprinkles and treats. And we hope we can have another birthday. Amen." Then he went on a prayer marathon, folding his hands and saying, "Thank you God for everything. Amen" over and over. The prayers occassionally differed a bit ("Thank you God for everything, well...not everything, but...well, ummm...Amen!"). So sweet and so funny.
