SYL's half-birthday

On Sunday we celebrated SYL's half-birthday. Since she shares her birthday with a very famous dead person, her birthday doesn't usually get much fanfare.

This year, though, it was different. We went all-out. The sort-of theme of the birthday party was "six years old." So we had masks, party hats, a piñata, goody bags, pin-the-nose-on-the-puppy, and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.We also had alcohol and sushi. You know, just to adult it up a little. And yes, there was cake. Can you find the two cakes in the picture below?A good time was had by all. I think SYL should have a half birthday every year!

No, I made the animal cracker cake - yellow cake and chocolate icing, my favorite combo (also well-liked by the guest of honor)! Kris made the dirt cake. I'd actually never had dirt cake before, so it was quite an adventure.

Mmmmmm...dirt cake. Yum yum. Back in my teenage lifeguarding days, one of the other guards' mothers would bring us dirt cake occasionally. Dirt cake days were always the best days.
