We also started the kids in school the day before her birthday so she got to stand up during the assembly for everyone to tell her Happy Birthday. She thought that was pretty cool. She wanted a strawberry cake but cake mixes are harder to come by and more expensive here than in the US so she had chocolate cake with sprinkles. LOTS of sprinkles. The boys helped!
Ashley got this koala holding a boomerang from her daddy. So cute!
Jakob had to lay claim on one of the gifts. Of course he picked the biggest one that ended up being a tea set. He said, "I KNEW I wanted to give that one to her!"
Time for the candles! I had to use the gas stove to light the candles. Probably not smart but I was careful. Then I got to walk very slowly over to the table with them. I deleted the picture Steve got of me chewing Gavin out for blowing out the candles...
Heidi really liked the cake!!
And now its beach time! The weather was awesome! It was the last time we got to go to the beach before it started getting too cold. Darn Autumn. This was at Bonbeach and its our favorite of the four we have visited.
On to MY cake. I love this cheesecake recipe. Best one EVER.
One nice thing about sharing a birthday is that there's enough cake to go around that you can keep yours to yourself as much as you want. Everyone wanted Ashley's chocolate cake and I was perfectly okay with that!!
