The kids are one year older…
March 22, 2008
Well, my niece and nephew have both had their birthdays, and are now 7 and 6 years old…unbelievable. Mainly because they were born while I was in college, which seems like it was yesterday. With another birthday comes another cake by Aunt H, and these were their choices this year. Sis picked her favorite toy, her Webkinz Princess (who is a cat – and to be fair, she has 3, so we picked her favorite 2 for her cake) as her theme. Her brother’s theme was Pirates of the Caribbean.
Simple, but pretty…and the funniest part? She ate an entire one of those cats by herself! And she is TINY.
Here is her brother’s cake, a roaring success today – btw, that is the sea monster from (I think) the second movie, attacking the ship:

He loved it – which is all I care about
I love making them happy – although I do fear that one day they will ask for something I won’t be able to deliver – but it hasn’t happened yet!

Those are great! (is Aunt H for hire?)

Ummm…not usually.
Aunt H is a very busy girl. She used to be for hire…then realized she usually lost money, since it takes so long to do the cakes. Plus, she kind of can’t deal with the anxiety. Also, she’s officially a grad student now!
