The Big Four-Oh

 We hade a double celebration.  Kenneth's Birthday and Chinese New Year!  Kenneth went on a campout with the Boy Scouts on his actual birthday.  So we planned a fancy Chinese dinner for his return.  I think he was surprised.  We had steamed buns with roast pork filling, mongolian fire pot (think chinese fondue), lemon chicken, stir fried vegies, and white rabbit candies.

 Nate and Rebekah baked an awesome orange cake. 

  Hazel decorated it.

 Christian and Truman put 2 packs of candles (48 in all) on the little cake.

 The fire was a big one.

 There was a lot of smoke!

We also bought some chinese ice cream.  We almost bought the avocado flavor but we thought that Kenneth might appreciate lychee fruit more.
