Tim selected his favorite dish for the birthday meal - pasta salad. Of course it isn't hard to see why it's his favorite because Tiffany makes a wonderful pasta salad. I'd probably be satisfied with pasta, olives, and canned chicken but Tiffany goes all out with peas, corn, garbonzo beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and on and on. You know you've had quite a meal with her salads.
Then came the cake per Tim's instructions since "that's the way birthday's usually go". The cake was vanilla ice cream and chocolate cake with a ballet theme reflecting Tim's interest in dance. And of course there were six candles on top to reflect his new age.
Grandma had selected two presents for Tim - a Cinderella type castle and a figure eight race track with a turbo-charging accelerator and air-jump to keep the cars from hitting each other. We were glad there were two presents so Jake could play with one while Tim was playing with the other. Jake wasn't about to sit back and watch the action even though it was really Tim's day.
