This evening, after Math and Science lessons with the tutor, the children borrowed the camera and kicked me out of the kitchen so they could decorate another birthday cake for me, just like they did last year! It was a full day for them so I baked the chocolate cake, whipped up some chocolate cream cheese frosting, and then had fun molding some fondant with my gorgeous new St. Cecilia mold (which my husband gave me for Christmas!!!) before they took over and did the rest. I thought they did a beautiful job! I sure love this little family of mine!
Wonderful birthday cake, great job kids! I hope your day was truly wonderful!
Happy birthday to you! What a beautiful job the children did. They have a great teacher to learn from!
Happy birthday, sweet lady. May you have many, many more!
Thank you, Kathy! It was wonderful! 🙂
Thank you, Patty!
Thank you, Barbara!
And we are hoping to get around to taking the Christmas tree down this weekend. . . It's been awhile since I've had a birthday with it still up!
I was going to comment that it was nice to see your Christmas tree still up! Just this past Sunday in his homily, the priest said he hoped some people still did (have their tree)!
We've taken the ornaments off, but it is still up! I love it when we are able to keep it up until the feast of the Baptism of the Lord! It does need to come down soon though, since it is starting to get pretty dry.
LOVE the cake! Your children did an amazing job!
Thank you heavenly Father for the tremendous awesome miracle of you! Happy birthday and God's most joyous blessings accompany you through the new year!!! The smiles on your kids faces say it all. You are a dear heart of a mom. You are a wonderful friend, too, to all of your readers. Love you, Jessica! Tell your kids the cake us so pretty it belongs in a magazine!!!
Great cake! so pretty!! I love the picture with all the kids and the cake–especially with Rose on the couch! Too cute! Was she tired out from all the excitement of decorating the cake?
