Welcome to the Dark Side

Scott’s 40th b-day BBQ bash was great fun. There were lots of friends (old and new), lots of Wii action, lots of yummy food, and my personal favorite--cake! I made two cakes: one chocolate-raspberry, decorated Hello-Kitty-style for my niece who turned 4 on the same day and one lemon flavored with a Darth Vader topper for my now-over-some-sort-of-hill husband. Sadly, I didn’t get any pics of the two of them blowing out the candles together. I think it is just darling that they will always share the same birthday.
