"The Night Before Don's Birthday......"

The night before Don's birthday, Patrick, Julie, and Abigail drove up to go out to dinner with us to celebrate.  After dinner, we came back to our house where we had birthday cake.  :)  Here are a few photos leading up to that time.

The cooling of his cake......

Butter frosting on his birthday cake........  I poked holes in the bottom layer and dribbled homemade chocolate sauce in them to add a bit more chocolatey decadence.

The finished birthday cake with chocolate sauce drizzled on top.........

Patience is a virtue, right?  We all sat quietly and waited for his wish making and blowing out of the candles......

The moment was captured!

And the enjoyment began!  ;)
