papa's birthday!

while we had my nieces it happened to be papa's birthday and papa's birthday happened to be the same day as the children's festival. if you grew up in southern oregon then you would know how awesome the children's festival is. probably you didn't though, and i just can't explain it. but anyway, we celebrated papa with a decorated birthday ice cream cake and spending the afternoon at the children's festival. pretty good birthday!
