For us, it’s birthday month – or rather, birthday week. For years, Emil got to celebrate his March 30th birthday alone. Then the kids blazed onto the scene,O with Christina claiming the 29th and Matt pulling up the rear on the 31st. It’s the perfect trifecta, but it’s made for some busy times! Over the years, Emil’s taken a back seat to first birthdays, princess parties and the never-ending squeal of all-night slumber parties. He’s been a good sport, making mountains of chocolate chip pancakes, sliding down plastic slides at the local play place and wielding a glowing baton at laser tag. Eventually, we always get to his birthday dinner (sushi) but he’s mostly given the time to our children. With the kids’ birthdays close together, we were able to get away with joint birthday parties for a few years. As they got older, it became impossible to merge the demands of princess parties with dinosaurs and High School Musical 3 with Lightning McQueen. We’ve always kept the family party to one big birthday-palooza, but every year, I bake them each a separate cake. It’s tradition: one strawberry shortcake, one red velvet cake and one lemon meringue pie. Sure, it would be easy to order one big sheet cake emblazoned with all three names and call it a day. For me, it’s about more than just cake. For one, I like to bake. But more importantly, a few hours in the kitchen is my small way of making the celebration special for each of them. I remember my own birthday cakes because my mom always made me my favourite: chocolate cake with chocolate icing and coloured sprinkles. For me, a birthday cake shows that someone made Fine Flooring . Art Work . Area Rugs an effort just for you. The cake is the centrepiece, surrounded by loved Broadloom .
