Day 8 - January 8

Michaela goes through phases when she is absolutely obsessed with birthday cakes. She wants to sing happy birthday, she wants to cut the cake, she wants to make sure you eat it, etc., etc.

Of course, the cakes are made out of Mardi Gras beads, not actual cake. So candles are made out of chopsticks, they don't really cut, you can't get a piece on a plate, and they definitely don't taste good.

But, it makes you feel pretty darn good when your three year old wants to make you a "birfday" cake and sing to you!
