Slip and Slide Birthday Fun

"T's" birthday celebration lasted almost a month.
First we had a family party, then the "husbird" and I took him to dinner at the restaurant of this choice, and then he had a friend party,
quite the lucky ten year old.

Last month while making this chocolate cake for "T's" friend birthday party
he asked me, Have you ever made up a recipe?"
Me: No, I've changed recipes to make them better, but I've never made up one.
"T": I think you should try, besides if it doesn't turn out dad will eat it,
he'll eat anything.
Me: True. True.

By the way, the cake was a disaster. I don't know what I did wrong.
I followed the instructions exactly.
It didn't raise fully, I am not a cake maker.
Thank goodness for frosting, lots and lots of frosting.
At least it tasted great, all the kids asked for seconds at the party.

I must being doing something right because the night of his party the "husbird" found a thank you letter under his pillow, yes I'm taking the credit, since I'm the one who is constantly reminding him to write thank you notes.
I just never expected to receive one myself.
What a nice surprise!
