Anthony has to write a 5 sentence journal entry each day. His birthday (and party) was on Monday the 25th. On Wednesday the journal question was, “What is the nicest things that someone has done for you?” He wrote: “The nicest thing someone has done for me is my mom. She made me a cake for my birthday. It was chocolate and had a new transformer on top of it.” Not quite 5 sentences, but it was the nicest 3 sentences he has written!
Lynette of course asked if this was a ‘normal’ cake. And it was… for the most part. 🙂 Brynn even had 2 helpings and she usually doesn’t like chocolate cake at all! So that was fun to see. I also made a applesauce spice cake for those that didn’t want to have so much chocolate. Since it was snowing that day I refused to buy ice cream, but made hot cocoa instead. Which was why I had to have the applesauce spice cake – to dip into the hot cocoa. The hot cocoa was also made from 50% powdered milk from Grandma’s Country Kitchen. That is the BEST powdered milk I’ve tried thus far. (Having grown up with a lot of powdered milk, I’ve developed a kind of ‘taste’ for the stuff. And I’ve had some pretty awful stuff.) My boys will even get excited when I get Grandma’s Country powdered milk.
Grandma Leavitt was there and even gave the traditional recycle card! (A long-standing family joke and tradition. Grandpa was there and I’m sure was smiling.)
It was a wonderful party and family council afterward.
