Papa’s party
My dad turned 50 on Sunday. That’s nothing to him because he plans to live to at least 102. Oh and he thinks he’s the man of steel, something I too believed until I was about 20 (a part of me still kind of does). We had a little party for him on Sunday—just immediate family. Which in my family means a pretty good-sized party since our family is HUGE! It was perfect though—the weather, the food, the people, the fun.
We had a cookout, we gave him a new digital camera, we took some family photos, we even gave my sister’s boyfriend a group-effort haircut in the garage. One of the best parts though was the cake. For his birthday my brother bought my dad a brand new Stihl chainsaw (my dad likes to cut wood), which looked maybe a little something like this:
Apparently my brother is a professional cake creator because just before the party started, he walks in with this, like it’s no big deal:
Okay, I’m impressed with myself when I manage to make a box cake and frost it evenly in the pan. He made a fucking chainsaw cake! I had no idea my brother was so awesome. I want him to make my next birthday cake. I’m thinking maybe a detailed map of Europe…

Wow! I’m super impressed with your brother’s baking skills as well! Makes me wonder…is he single? : )
That’s super cool. Sounds like your Dad’s bday party was fun.
