Jeremy’s tenth birthday

Jeremy requested a jello cake for his birthday. So I made a white cake, and then when it was cooled I poured the peach jello over it. I think the jello saturated the cake. We let that chill till it was set, and then I covered it with whipped cream. That made it look funny. I probably should have left it and just served the whipped cream along side the cake, but too late now. We saw these cool candles at the grocery store and got them for Jeremy’s cake. The flame burns the same color as the candle.

Jeremy was just watching the last candle burn, but his face when Kyle blew the last candle out:

His birthday, being on a Sunday this year was a very long day. With preparing for church all morning, church this afternoon, making the cake and dinner then eating dinner and the cake this evening, it was quite late when we were done with that. A couple of the little ones fell asleep before everyone else could put jammies on. So we decided to save the present for tonight so everyone would be awake for it. Jeremy was rather upset by that but he tried to hide his disappointment. He got over it tonight when he opened his present and saw what it was.
