Birthday Cake and Smiles

12 July was Ramsey's birthday. We normally love birthdays and usually try to do at the minimum a movie or out for lunch or sometimes we invite a few friends over to celebrate the special day. However, this birthday came during a busy time. Unfortunately we really didn't plan anything because most of our planning energy has been expended on our upcoming trip to South Sudan. It's a good thing that I can at least make a good chocolate cake...smile. And we ALL love chocolate cake from stratch.

A friend of mine as been letting me borrow her kitchen aid....what a blessing!!!

The boys didn't want to wait for the cake to cool to put the icing on it. So I thought I would put it outside to try to cool it faster...but as you can see from the next photo....they decided they could just put the icing on the side and have warm cake.

mmmmmmm....yummy..........HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!
