Storyboard

"One of the prettiest birthday cakes ever!"~our 17 year old proclaimed.  It is a good day when a seasoned teenager is happy with my carefully selected cake from the bakery!

And the great thing about birthdays with family...the youngest cousin is keeping his eyes peeled as he moves in on the cake.

But alas...so is dad!

All our kids...

All those candles burning bright...but not as bright as the smile of an adoring cousin!

"What do you mean, I can't blow out the candles yet??"

He is easily placated waiting for the next cake!

She insisted that 19 candles would melt her ice-cream cake, so she lit a few less candles. 

I love that beautiful smile of hers~unchanged through the years!

And she gets much needed help blowing them out!!

An authentic storyboard that captures the essence and chaos of birthday fun!

Happy Birthday, girls!!

May your wishes come true in the year ahead!
