This post is mostly a picture post! I figured I would share some pics from my mom's visit. Enjoy!
A very uniquely painted car in the middle of the mall. I couldn't help but take a pic. It has lots of dragons painted on it.
The Build-A-Bear Store now features a pug! Woo-hoo! I've never been interested in the concept of Build-A-Bear until they got a pug! Now I must say it's tempting to build-a-pug! A message to our living and breathing pugs....don't you worry you will never be replaced with a stuffed version! ;) Mommy may add to her stuffed pug collection but there are no replacements for you two troublemakers!
Ahh, yes! The Cardinals tin! We came across this gourmet popcorn store that featured not just numerous kinds of popcorn but numerous tins for the munchies. From sports teams to birthday tins to get well soon tins....you name it! Of course my eyes were immediately drawn to the top shelf where an AZ Cardinals tin sat! Awesome! The tins were impressive but the crazy combinations of popcorn flavors were most impressive. We decided on a bag of jalapeno ranch as a little added Father's day gift for my father-in-law. We also got a mix of butter, caramel, and cheddar popcorn. It was awesome to have all three in one mix! Sweet and savory at it's finest! Believe me!
What do you make a person that doesn't like frosting? A cheesecake with a light cover of chocolate ganache. As previously mentioned in other posts, I decided on making mom a Butterfinger cheesecake instead of a traditional birthday cake this year. Here is the finished product! Not too bad! There are a few frostings my mom will eat but they have to be made by her daughter!;) She actually told me that during her visit, so I'm not meaning to brag in any way! ;) For a change though it was nice making a birthday cheesecake!
This pic and the next one are pretty self explanatory. There she is posing with one of her gifts and then digging in to it in the next pic!
Time to blow out the candles! Just because its not a REAL birthday cake doesn't mean I was going to skimp on the candles. Although I will admit it's a bit harder to get candles to stay in a cheesecake than a regular cake. ;)
Mommy and Piper!

Other than pics from our wedding I think this is the first pic of mom with her son-in-law!
