My Pops is 60!

Sunday was my dad's 60th birthday! We celebrated by having a few of his favorites: sausage pizza and coke (even Michael participated in the coke party). The plan was to buy him Sbarro pizza (my grandma used to bring him a whole big Sbarro pizza every year on his birthday) but when we went to pick up the pizza on Saturday (tried to make a good choice by not buying it on Sunday) the Sbarro in Layton  was closed down, so we did the next best thing (it's my first choice) HOMEMADE PIZZA! Then, we finished the meal with this delicious chocolate zucchini cake I discovered last week! I got it from Pinterest but tweaked it to make it a bit more my style (healthier- did you know that you can cut out almost half the butter/oil in most baking items and they still turn out yummy and hold together?!? I've tested the waters out on everything I've baked in the last year or so and I have had about a 95% accuracy rate! I don't use the applesauce tactic really anymore but I have thrown in Greek yogurt to things to moisten them up!). Dave and I devoured the exact cake in just two days, the week before!  
The can was perspiring and made the drinks look that much more refreshing.

We had a nice spread of food!
