My weight was down 0.6 pounds this week. That doesn’t sound like a lot but it was a total surprise that I lost any weight this week. It was a busy and fun weekend.

PopPop and I went to Frisco to celebrate our granddaughter’s birthday. Celia’s birthday is actually today but her party was Saturday. ‘Total chaos’ is the perfect description of a three-year old’s birthday party. It was so much fun. Happy 3rd birthday, Celia!

There was all kinds of food I should not be eating but I ate it anyway. There was birthday cake and cupcakes. My son smoked an awesome brisket. So we had that with all the fixin’s. We had fried chicken and fried fish at Babe’s. It was delicious There was beer and nachos while we were bowling. Given that I ate all this food you can understand why I’m happy that I lost 0.6 pounds.

I volunteered to bake the cake for the party. The theme for the party was Elmo. I baked the cutest Elmo cake using Wilton’s Elmo face cake pan. I was very pleased with the results:

I also baked cupcakes for the party since the cake is kinda on the small side. These were confetti cupcakes with bright yellow almond frosting, sprinkles, and an Elmo cupcake topper ring:

Here’s the final setup for the party:
