Josiah's birthday is Monday and he will be twenty-two. Jim is heading back to Minnesota tomorrow morning and so last night Bethany decided we needed to celebrate today. (It was a surprise party for all of us.)
I made a pistachio cake with chocolate swirled throughout and and drizzled over the top. This is a cake we typically save for Christmas time and it was perfect for today's celebration at Mom's house.
This was our final gathering before Jim heads back toward Minnesota tomorrow morning and so, of course, I had to get a photo. Josh is missing as he was taking a nap, but it seems that someone is always absent when we try to get a group picture.

Happy birthday and safe travels to your loved ones! That cake looks amazing...yum! Candles sure do make cakes look festive, don't they...and drizzle. :)
ReplyDeleteCake looks great. Have Judi give you our address. If there is extra.....
ReplyDeleteWill do, Papa.
ReplyDeleteHe always wants the desert first. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think the cake would arrive safely, so I sent you the recipe in an email instead.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a pic with Mom in it too?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Joe!
Not with everybody. :(
