I am still getting back into the swing of things post-holidays. I don’t remember much from the time after I passed out into a sugar-induced coma. However, as the pictures below show, I was present for the lighting on my mother’s 60th birthday cake on Sunday.
Here we are lighting the cake.
And here we are still lighting the cake.
And here we are again, still lighting the cake, watching the frosting start to melt.
And finally, the cake is lit! My mother blew out the candles in one breath, proving that old age has not affected her lung capacity. Happy birthday, Mom! Here’s to 60 more years!

December 29, 2009 at 4:12 pmHappy birthday your mom. She’s a lot older than me. (Well, 6 months or so.)
I don’t often comment on your blog because you get so many comments but I do enjoy it, as so many others do. Happy New Year when it comes.

December 29, 2009 at 5:59 pm@Isabelle – Aw, thanks, Isabelle! And if my mom is 6 months older than you, that means you’re at the right age to take money out of your IRA without penalty! That was a day my mom celebrated too :)

I was also in a sugar coma, but throwing away all remaining cookies on Sunday helped a lot!

December 30, 2009 at 1:37 amLMAO too funny! My grandma always made a big production of making sure we had the correct number of candles on the cake! I opt for the big number ones for my in laws though, they are 81 and soon to be 80, I think I’d need a torch to light all those before the frosting melted!
