Today is my mom's birthday and my siblings and I decided to throw her a little party. It was just dinner and cake, but we had fun.
I made her a cake using this cake recipe, this frosting recipe (it's her favorite!) and spread some raspberry jam and some frosting in between the layers.
We made decorations using this tutorial for the pom poms and we wrapped some twine around styrofoam balls. My sister and I had a ton of fun making them, and it was so easy.
Happy Birthday Mom! You are the best mom anyone could ask for, and I thank God for you all the time. I love you!
I found your blog via your LiveJournal (which I clicked on after I saw your wonderful DiTL entry)and I love it! Beautiful pictures, wonderful recipes- thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect afternoon. Every time I read a post about your family, I imagine your and yours living on a beautiful farm and being totally self sufficient. Even if it's not true, tell me that it is. It makes my day.
ReplyDeletenot exactly true, but it's what we are working towards. : )
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your mother, Hannah! What fun decorations you and your sister made.

Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you. I've used this recipe from your blog maybe seven times. No joke. And I deviated yesterday for my boyfriend's birthday cake, and it was a disaster. I promised to bake him a new one (he said I didn't have to of course, but I'm going to - I feel terrible) and am returning to an oldie but a goody. Thank you!
