We celebrated my mom's birthday this week, and let's just say she was a little "off" (by a mere 2 decades) when she told Trace her age. If 39 were true, she would have been about 4 1/2 when she gave birth to me... but, fortunately you can convince a toddler of anything. ha!
We made her a birthday cake and had grand plans of coloring the icing purple (her favorite) and stenciling 39 on it with sprinkles. But then the great bomb threat of Hixson hit, forcing us to evacuate our home with 2 unfrosted, still cooling cake pans (that I carefully threw in a box) and flee to my grandmothers.
We managed to get out of the house with a can of frosting, red food coloring, and sprinkles, but sadly forgot Trace's "big boy"underwear and shoes.
He went commando and shoeless to the birthday party!
Trace thoroughly enjoyed making Nana's birthday cake... and licking every utensil and bowl clean afterwards.
I was trying to explain to him that we have to let the cakes cool and we would frost them after his nap. Then I walk around the corner in time to discover that he had already frosted it with coffee creamer... he's so helpful.
Nana didn't seem to mind that her cake wasn't purple, was on a paper plate, and had no numbers, just random sprinkles on it (or that Trace had on no footwear or underwear) ...after all, we had just had a bomb scare.
Getting a little snuggle time with Uncle Andy.
Who needs toys when you've got a great big box...
with a hole cut out of the corner to sit in!
Happy "39th" Nana... we love you!

I like your Mom's way of thinking! 39 is a good well rounded number...who needs to go any higher than that? LOL!
Glad you guys had a fun time celebrating!!!
