Month of Birthdays

June is our family's month for birthdays. Besides being 3 of us in our own little family both sides of our family have birthdays too, we have a brother and both of our Fathers are in June. It was a busy month! We made lots of cake! Luckily Dave was really into making this yummy healthy cake, so we didn't gain too much weight in the end. (I don't think any actually!)


Here is the first birthday family dinner. We decided to combined Dave's and Giana's because 6 days apart wasn't enough time to do it separate. (Sorry G, get use to it.) We had dinner with most of the Dave's family. Dave made what I call Crispy Apple Cake (recipe will soon be on my friend's blog, I'll let you know when) and cinnamon custard. It was so fun and we really liked the cake. Giana's was actually different though. She got a blend of a mango upside down cake with something else. I can't remember. With a yogurt frosting. The next day I had some and I actually like it more the my favorite Crispy Apple Cake, no wonder she ate it so well.

For Giana's actually birthday we let her and Adona help make her another cake to eat on her birthday. It was enjoyed by all! I just love seeing my kids helping in the kitchen!


Nine Days later came Adona's birthday, on Father's day this year. Sorry Dad and grandpa, it's all about Adona today...

The only thing Adona said she wanted for her birthday was M&Ms. (We train her well, that's usually one of the things I get for my birthday.) She fell asleep before dinner, so when grandma and grandpa go there with her M&Ms she was asleep. We put them in her face as you can see in the pictures and woke her up. She was so excited! Another thing Adona wanted was a little mermaid cake. I did the best I could, maybe it didn't look beautiful, but it tasted amazing! (Chocolate Whole Wheat Tres Laches)

Of course we didn't only get her M&Ms, although she would have been happy with just that and the candles to blow out.
I have been wanting to get her a bike. Good old DI had this beauty for $5! Can't beat it, it would have been the one she would have chosen at the store anyways! (Princesses) Grandma and Grandpa also got her some church books and a family cookbook. It was a great birthday for Adona.
