Down birthday memory lane . . .

Since my bday is tomorrow I thought it would be fun to have a birthday walk down memory lane. Obviously my bday is close to valentines day, so an exboyfriend did a good bday/vday combo celebration for my 28th bday. On my actual bday he and a coworker friend of mine, decorated my car with streamers. I couldn't get into the car w/o cutting them off in the morning when I got off. And he brought me a least a dozen roses and a bracelet. And for the bday/vday combo date, we went to the Skies ( a revolving restraurant overlooking the downtown sky). There were more roses involved and it was a great night. Although, he wasn't the best guy and I shouldn't have ever dated him, but that bday he made me feel very special.
Now the boys have big plans for tomorrow, and they are doing an awesome job of keeping it secret. So, I am sure that a new fav bday memory will be born.
I think for my boys my favorite memories are there cakes. I pretend to be good at decorating cakes, and usually make the boys bday cakes. And if I am going to make it, we go to the bakery and let them look through the catalog to pick what kind of bday cake they want. And I always love seeing how surprised and in awe they are when I am done. They are so supportive of me. I have done dinosaurs (more than once), Webkinz, Lighting McQueen, beach themed cakes to name a few. I hope to one day be able to take a class to polish up my skills. Thanks for walking down memory lane with me!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday that you will remember for years to come! :)

So, you like to decorate birthday cakes huh? Sounds fun! I'm not that great at it - the coolest cake I ever made (but I'm truly an amateur) was a hat cake. I actually made several of those (one for each daughter). There was a sense of satisfaction when they were done - even if they weren't that great.

Thanks for sharing! It was fun visiting today.

I have a friend who just opened a bakery and I love seeing her creations. I used to make my girls' cakes too, but now I opt for my friend's bakery! LOL
