A Happy Birthday + Recipe!

The best birthday surprise was having this little guy arrive for the weekend to 
help his Meme celebrate her birthday! 

Who better to help me blow our all those candles!
(And this was only half of my 51 candles.)

We were all left in stitches when he spit instead of blew!!
If you ever need a quick and oh so yummy chocolate cake, I hope ya give this recipe a try.
It's been a family favorite since we were kids. Thanks for the recipe mom.

INGREDIENTS:
1 pkg. Devils Food Cake Mix
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups of water
1 pkg. Chocolate Instant Pudding (4 serving size)
1 cup of chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour oil into a 13x9x2 inch pan. Tilt the pan until the bottom of the pan is covered with oil. Add the remaining ingredients in to the pan, stir with a for or spoon until well blended. (about two minutes) Scrape sides and spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes our clean. Cool cake and sprinkle with powered sugar. Enjoy! 
Happy Memorial Day.
