Celebrating a birthday with a zero on the end

One of the best presents, a happy home

Today is Dave's birthday, and we had a family party for him. The kids decorated the house with balloons and baked him a cake. His presents were simple: a fancy razor, instant cappuccino satchets, Cherry Ripes (his favourite candy bar) and a cd with Irish and Scottish music.

So while Donnelly baked a chocolate cake using Chloe's never-fail recipe (out of one of my old cookbooks), the family batted balloons around to Irish jigs.
