So, my birthday was yesterday. It was the first time I've had to make my own cake. I'm sure that day will come again and again. I must give kudos to my Mom. She did offer, but I turned her down with the explanation that Maxson wouldn't be able to eat her cake (since he's allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts). So, I made an egg-free, milk-free, peanut-free chocolate cake. It was delicious!
Another first--I was awakened by a handsome 5-year old gently saying, "Mommy, Happy Birthday!" I hope that will happen again and again!
When Devlin asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday, I told him I wanted to carve pumpkins with the kids. We invited my parents along with the hopes that my Dad would carve his signature pumpkin-which he did. The evening, combined with calls from friends and family, Devlin's scheduled thesis proposal, and a movie with my hubby, made for a great day.
