Born on Thanksgiving Day, Max beams brightly across his birthday cake. The look on his happy face could light a thousand candles, but we settled for seven last night, since Max turns seven today.
We celebrated a day early by singing "Happy Birthday," sharing a cake and opening presents. Now, what you can't see in this photo is that the candle were the kind that re-ignite, so the blowing out lasted several minutes.
Max's mother made a red velvet cake with Cool Whip topping for frosting and filling. It was very yummy. Peter, Ed and I finished the birthday cake late last night after the boys were in bed. This morning Max said, "Grandma, somebody ate the rest of my cake last night!" "Yes, Max, we did," was the honest (and confessional) reply.
Notice the Christmas cactus in the lower right corner. We counted 62 buds on it one day this week. None of the blossoms are open yet, but we know it will be a spectactular sight soon.

The Eichlers are at fault for my obsession with red velvet. :)
