"It's somebody's birthday I wonder for who...
.

It's somebody's birthday that's right in this room...
So look all around you for somebody who, is laughing and smiling...
This is the song we sing on every birthday.
It's been a family tradition, started when I was very young.
Kimmy and her little family are coming over for dinner, Monday evening, to celebrate her birthday.
So, I set the table just for her!
No cake.
We will enjoy a special dessert with Kimmy. She took the challenge, along with me, to give up sugar for a full year!

Professionally decorated cakes always seem to have a molten, silky look. To get that same appearance in your homemade cakes, frost the sides and top of the cake and smooth out with a spatula as usual. Use a hair dryer to "blow-dry" the frosted surfaces of the cake. The slight melting of the frosting gives it that smooth, lustrous appearance.
Christine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Birthday song!
You have set such a beautiful table for Kimmy's Birthday! Enjoy the celebration!
I am so proud of both of you for doing so wonderfully on your sugar challenge! God has blessed you with some excellent will power!

Hey Christine!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love family traditions? There's just something about how little songs you've heard all your life are so special. My mother in law got ZOOM tapes for all her grandkids. "My name is Zoom and I live on the moon and I came down to earth just to sing you this tune! Hey _____ it's your birthday TODAY!" You should hear all the grown cousins singing all the verses, by heart!
What a pretty and festive table! I love the tulips, your dishes, the lace tablecloth on top of the pink, and the bunnies...just springtime delightful!
I wish you continued success on your no sugar challenge. That is quite an undertaking! Was it your new year's resolution?
Keep up the good work! :)
Happy Birthday, Kimmy!
Blessings!
Christine, your table is so beautiful... and reflects so much care and love. Makes my heart warm and happy. =) Happy, Happy Birthday to Kimmie! And, WOW, congratulations to the both of you for continuing your no sugar resolve! Amazing.
