Birthday



My family made a birthday dinner for me last night. Kanji cooked what he can - rice and miso soup and simmered fish. I baked the cake and whipped up the icing, then left them to cut and decorate, and this is what they made me - Marge Simpson!



They actually did really well with both the cutting (done freehand as they didn't know about the templates!) and the decoration. H B stands for Happy Birthday. Here are the proud chefs:



Me and my birthday gifts, beautiful roses from my husband, a new tea cup from Amy, so I don't have to drink out of a beer mug anymore, and a little parrot for my phone. They got me a card each, and even helped Erica draw a card for me. GHere they are singing Happy Birthday to me. Erica can sing it too a little, but of course never when the camera is on.
