Let Cake Season Begin!

On March 12th my twin daughters turned 4! We had a wonderful little gathering with almost 40 of our closest friends, family and kids. I hired a magician and of course my Auntie made the beautiful cake. The girls were spoiled and spotlighted all day and I felt so fortunate to have that much joy and love in my home. Of course, March also signals the beginning of “cake season” in our family. With 2 birthdays in March, 2 in April, 2 in May, 2 in June, 2 in July, too many in August and the last in September. If you add up all the cake over that block of time, that’s a lot of cak-ories. Now ordinarily I’d be able to use my super powers and say “no thank-you” to the offer of birthday cake but if you’ve ever seen and eaten the delicious cakes my very talented Auntie makes, you’d have no power either. Her cakes are my kriponite. And so with every birthday that creeps closer and closer, I run longer and harder to counter the kriptonite effect…because yes, I will have my cake and eat it too.
