For a few months it will now appear that Mark is only a year younger than me! We celebrated his 31st birthday this past weekend! And while I’m getting bigger by the milosecond and several people have commented with “Any day now, huh?” I believe we still made the day special!
Opening gifts on a surprisingly not humid day! We loved the weather this past weekend.
Mark got a nice Apollo commemorative patch from his mom. It’s beautiful and I think he was definitely surprised and in awe!
He requested a Snickers Cake (my recipe from a hodge podge of recipes). Ceili Rain saw chocolate and was thrilled (what can I say…she’s my kid).
Singing “Happy Birthday!”
Waiting, ever so patiently for the cake. I did not put 31 candles on the cake for fear that the awesome chocolate frosting would be covered in wax. However, I did do a 3 and 1 digit to represent 31 candles!
Yes, I know the candles were a bit off center. Just sing praises that I actually made a from scratch cake and remembered the candles!
