Our little baby daughter, who was born the day after she was due, at 5 pounds 12 ounces & a whopping 21 inches long.....turned EIGHTEEN years old on Monday!
Ever since my friend Lori gave me the recipe for Creme de Menthe cake a few years ago, she always requests it for her birthday. It is delicious! You can find the recipe here.
(just ignore that first picture though, that was the first time I made it & I only used a little Hershey's candy bar. I now use the great big one they sell, & we totally cover the cake in chocolate curls. That first picture looks pretty sad....LOL)
And on Thurdsay, our little baby boy who was born a week before he was due, at 5 pounds 14 ounces, 19 1/4 inches long....turned SIX years old! Oh my goodnes, time really does fly! He is such a big boy! He saw a tractor cake at WalMart last summer & said that was what he wanted. Instead of buying their $20 cake, I made one exactly like it. Nevermind the smudge in the 'dirt', that's where we had the candle in it last evening. I forgot to take a picture of just the cake until after we took the candle out.
We are so thankful to God for blessing us with these wonderful children!
Birthdays are so much fun! That top cake looks delicious...hope y'all had fun.
