It's been a whirlwind celebration starting with the biggest surprise of all, the fact that I actually remembered his birthday at all this year.
Thank heavens we're on the same page when it comes to forced merrymaking. Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, New Year's Eve? Bleh!
It was two weeks in the past before either of us remembered our 25th wedding anniversary! In fact, I'm not 100% sure of the exact date. I know it was a chilly day in January....?
Whatever....
I do, however, take any opportunity to bake a cake. On Monday, we had a pre-birthday tester cake, just to make sure I had the recipe just right. On Wednesday, I did it all again with extra icing. On Friday, we just had to make sure that a vanilla cake might not be better than chocolate. (It wasn't)
And then on his actual birthday, we had a huge, spicy pumpkin pie slathered with whipped cream.
Happy Birthday to a true rebel!
