Wild and crazy, we are not; though, young and free we used to be. (Hahaha....sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme.) And with each passing birthday, 'young' seems to be getting further away. Luckily, I'll never catch Sven in that race-- he's ahead (albeit not by much). Since this isn't a birthday post for one of the kids, I'll spare the exaggeration of exactly which birthday Sven recently celebrated. Again, not wild and crazy, but I think he enjoyed his special day. We had a great dinner at our local sushi restaurant. It was too cute when the waitress brought out a 'birthday cake' for Sven when I mentioned we were celebrating his birthday. The 'cake' was two piled-up scoops of rice drizzled with teriyaki 'frosting' and a candle. Pretty clever! We all got a few laughs out of it-- and isn't that the point of a celebration? Laughs and fun? (Oh, and they even sang to him. LOL.....) Back at home, we all celebrated when the birthday cake I baked actually looked like a cake (vs. a pancake, which is the risk you take when baking anything at 6,000'). I have to admit this pumpkin bundt cake recipe that I got from "Pie in the Sky" (a high-altitude cookbook) was a big hit. Our small, family celebration seemed to be just Sven's speed as evidenced by his smiles. Happy Birthday, sweetie-- not another year older, just another year better!
