My mom was on her way home from visiting my sister Melissa in Maryland for Christmas (not that she lives too close to me anyway), but we celebrated without her anyway and made her a birthday cake.
I baked the cake in a bowl, so it's not a double layer cake that went horrendously awry...
We had 3 candles left so we used them for her, one for each kid to blow out. I think Alex had the fastest reaction and got them all though.
Here are the boys licking off the candles. Alex even stuck his back in for some more goo... Nice, huh?
Yes, that's a huge carrot in front of Adam. He insisted on eating it for dinner, although all he did was lick it a couple times I think. He wouldn't touch the carrots in the lo mein I made either.
Here's Adam getting messy. He looked way worse in person. I guess my camera photoshopped him cleaner... Too bad it didn't photoshop out all the mess behind Mary in her picture!
Adam savored all of his cake. I went to check on Alex in the bath for about 30 seconds. When I came back Adam was standing up leaning over the cake and said, "I licked it!!!" This appears to be the spot. He got that piece the next day.
I hope my mom had a fabulous birthday and has many more to come. We'll miss her next year too since she'll be a missionary in Mexico then. Her Spanish should be extra fluent then so we'll have to wish her Feliz Cumpleanos! (Too bad I don't know how to make the upside down ! for the beginning of that. One right side up one just doesn't convey the true excitement.)
