Karen- Day 108 - The Little Cake I Didn't Know About

Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Jimmy's birthdays are in the same week so we had a party for both of them.
I baked the birthday cake. I had just taken the cakes out of the oven when Hubby walks in.

Hubby: "Didn't you make an extra little cake?"
Me: "An extra cake? Why would I make an extra cake?"
Hubby: "My mom used to make me a little cake everytime she made a cake."
(In 13 years I've never heard this story.)
Me: "Well, that's because your mom is a saint and I suck."
(I'm not being sarcastic it's true.)

Cut to me whipping up a batch of cupcakes for 4......and Hubby. So I don't feel the brick wall of shame for forgetting to make the little tiny cake that is apparently a tradition even though this is the first time I've ever heard about it.



Presents are ready.
Cake is ready.
Off we go.



Their house is so pretty.
I love this bathroom.


Grandpa is such a good sport.


We all start making dinner.


Fresh everything.





Dinner is yummy and healthy.


The cake.



Aunt Bonnie: "Will you write 'Thank Mom, We Love You' instead of 'Happy Birthday'? Because, really, if it wasn't for my Mom none of us would be here together.

Isn't that cool?
