For her birthday I made my own cake wreck complete with carrot jockeys, misspelled words, and poor punctuation. It was my Great Grandma Blazer's carrot cake recipe underneath all the wreckieness and it was so yummy, as always.I can brag on the cake because it was not MY cake but G.Grandmother Blazer's. It's so simple and yet so unbelievably tasty! Do you want the recipe? Leave a comment and I will post it.
Here is Lylah saying how happy she is that Aunt Lori will have a birthday and a cake and could she please have a bitty, tiny, little lick of icing right now, please.
Here is the whole cake. It reads: "Happy" ANglE and Lory!! Lori's long time friend Angel had birthday a day or so before Lori and was in town on a visit. So we celebrated for both of them.
A little close up of the cake jockeys. They sure were fun to make.
I realize now that I have no pictures of the birthday girls with the cake...oops. It was fun to enjoy the joke with them. We all read the Cake Wrecks blog and were familiar with the original carrot jockey post. Now you can enjoy it too. Good times.
After the lunch and cake part of the party, we went outside to fly kites. It was a warm and windy day and we had a blast. Here are several pictures of all the kite flying and sweet memories of the day.
We had a wonderful time in the sun and wind. The kites flew pretty well. Aunt Carol got the big kite up pretty high and Lylah "helped" her fly it. Pretty soon the birds of prey were circling around because they saw the kite. Llyah ran around with "the cousins" and followed the youngest up and down a sand hill. We all took off our shoes and enjoyed the cool grass, but Lylah's feet were the cutest. She wore her make up purse on the crook of her arm the whole day. When we packed up to go home, she was so tired. She usually never falls asleep in the car, but she could not help herself.
It was a very happy day. It was perfectly, perfect. Happy family. Lovely weather. Celebrating people we love. Can't ask for more.
