We celebrated Seth's birthday today! Thanks to all of you who sent cards- he loves displaying them all along the mantle!
Thought the smoke alarm was going to go off when he blew out all those candles! Seth loves dark chocolate so I did my research & made him a dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate icing. You see, birthday cake is the most important part of your birthday, so this was a very important task! & I must say that icing was SOOOO good! I will never tell what is in it though! My new secret recipe, & besides- you might not eat it if you knew! Good food isn't always good for you!
Cute Grandma side note story- I spend Tuesday nights with my sweet

Grandma & we were talking about Seth's birthday. She asked about his cake & the icing. Then she asked what kind of icing I was using, there was a hint of a tone to that sweet voice & I knew exactly what she meant! I quickly replied, "homemade of course... you raised me better than that!" She smiled & said, "I thought so!" Love that lady! & she did raise me better than to use anything buy homemade icing on a cake! Gotta give my momma some credit here too- she taught me how to beat, beat, & beat that icing to get it just right! The 3 Musketeers sure do love our sweets!! Seth took some cake by to share with mom & grandma & I got the stamp of approval! I also got extra brownie points w/ mom because I sent her a container of icing- instructions said- get a big spoonful & enjoy! I know the way to my momma's heart- chocolate!
We had a wonderful night. Thanks to all our family & friends who wished him a Happy Birthday!
