Happy 5th Birthday Pierce (Muffin Tin Monday)

Today Pierce is The Big Five years old.  Lucky for him, it's a teacher/conference day at school, so he gets to have some fun.  We have great plans, including a trip to the science museum, so we did our muffin tin a few days early.  I used the Celebrate plate that I painted, and we had some of Pierce's favorite foods.
Pierce had shrimp (unfortunately, I just bought one of those Gorton's grilled shrimp deals, and it was too spicy for Pierce), kiwi with a jumping dolphin pick, french fries, and steamed asparagus.  Pierce ate everything except the shrimp (next time I'll just buy plain) and he actually had two more servings of asparagus.
