Birthdays birthdays birthdays!!!

May is a big birthday month in our family. My sister Susan is first, then Brother Mark, then me, then Nephew Keith, then Michelle and another nephew Gio.

It also coincides with end of the school year, graduation and all such parties along with memorial day coming up at the end and then throw in Mother's day and there you have it a very busy month!

Spencer made my cake this year and was very proud of himself. Our family isn't too big of a fan for cake so we usually have "deep dark chocolate cake" for almost everyone's birthday since that is the only one we seem to like. However I do love angel food with sherbert in the middle so that is what spencer made for me. Then it is frosted with cool whip and put in the freezer. De-doubly-ishis!!! It was very nice to have both my sister's stop by and wish me a happy birthday, that hasn't happened for ummmm about 24 or more years so it was fun.

This year was Michelle's "sweet 16". She must have everything cause she couldn't think of a thing she wanted to get for her birthday. except things that were way too expensive so I had to reach into my resourceful imagination and come up with something fun. She had fun having family come over for the cake and such. She tried a popcorn cake this year, something that we had when I was growing up. I'm not sure if she LOVED it but it was fun to try. She is a huge popcorn fan so why not?



I have to say it makes birthday's a lot more fun when there are more people to share them with. Thanks family!!
