Day 85 - Birthday Candles

Peg's birthday is tomorrow but we celebrated it this evening with two of our godchildren and their parents. We had yummy lobster (Well, I actually had cod.), a delicious spinach salad, french bread and of course birthday cake. It was no ordinary birthday cake. It was a Dairy Queen ice cream cake with crayon candles. Peg wasn't too excited about having candles but 'E', our godson, insisted. He helped me put the 8 candles (no significance to the number) on the cake and then assisted in the extinguishing. Of course as godmoms we felt it necessary to teach him how to lick off the candles and stick his finger in the icing to make sure it's safe.
