Birthdays!!

Garrett and Blake both have their birthdays this month. Garrett turns 9 today and Blake will be 39 on Tuesday. With Easter between them, our weekend is proving to be very busy! Garrett is having a birthday party here at the house with his friends. We will be making Garrett's favorite food , fried rice, for lunch and a chocolate birthday cake for dessert.
Tomorrow for Easter, we have invited a LOT of people, most of them work for Guardian, or are on the heat-up team (these folks come in from all over the world specifically to heat-up the furnace which is a very tricky ordeal). I'm not exactly sure who all is coming, but I do know that I will be BBQ'ing for quite a while. Blake and I went to the store the other night and stocked up on meat, beer, cheese and pineapples. Most of you are probably wondering "Where is the ham?". Well, there wasn't a single ham at the store, but there was a TON of fish. Cod to be exact. Brasilians eat fish on Good Friday and then again for Easter dinner. Since my hubby doesn't like fish, we chose to go against the grain and cook picanha (yummy red meat).
The weather has cooled off since summer but, it is still usually in the hi 70's to mid 80's most days. Our BBQ should be quite a bit of fun, and I'll make a birthday cake for Blake (ssshh don't tell him) to surprise him and get everyone to sing him Happy Birthday!
Happy Easter to everyone reading this. I'll post again soon. Pam
