Birthday Girl

Helen decided she wanted a carrot cake for her birthday




It would have been nice if we boys could have pulled it off by ourselves, but we needed the birthday girl to help us

Some appetizers before dinner







Derek was very pleased with Helen's entrée choice







Yum


Derek says now that he has a 3D printer that we'll all be getting 3D printed trinkets as gifts
