April 21, 2009 was Dads 59th birthday, and he just happened to be in Edmonton waiting for a certain granddaughter who was taking her own sweet time to arrive.

Going over gifts from Karen while on the phone with her.

More gifts.

Mom shows off her candied ginger.
|

Checking to make sure the box is actually empty.
|

Molson seems to like the paw balm Karen got him...
|

Dad watching the candles being lit on his cake, possibly with some trepidation.
|

Mom and Dave making sure there are actually 59 candles on the cake.
|

Molson monitoring the proceedings to make sure nobody burns his house down.
|

Lighting all 59 candles.
|

Wow, the cake made it to the table with all the candles still lit!
|

Dad gathering up enough hot air...
|

...and blow!
