Hannah’s birthday party hasn’t happened yet. But she has opened the gifts that were here for her from her us and various others who have sent things. However, that was at 7:15 a.m. on her birthday…so I didn’t get any pictures of it. Sigh. For some reason, I don’t think of taking pictures when I’ve been up for 2 1/2 minutes. Next year I’ll remember to set out the camera the night before!
By the time cake time rolled around, though, I was awake enough to remember the camera.
Hannah requested a cookie cake this year. This is a deviation from tradition; ever since she’s had the choice, it’s been apple breakfast cake made by Michael. This year, she saw a cookie cake somewhere and thought that would be fantastic.
I was a bit worried about eggless cookie cake, but it came out really good. And – bonus! – Hannah didn’t realize that there would be chocolate chips in it until I was making it. I never even thought to tell her…it’s one of those things that kids who can eat eggs learn at an early age: cookie cakes have chocolate chips in them.
We all liked the cake, and Hannah had a great day, even though I missed taking pictures of her gift opening. I’ll try to get pictures of the gifts separately as she’s using them, and then you can see them.
