lamb cake


evan is 1 year old!! here he is with his "lamb cake." my grandma shirley made my dad a lamb cake when he was one. they brought the cake up to him and he grabbed it. they then gave him the rest of the cake and a macnair family tradition was born. all of his siblings, my sibs and cousins and the grandkids have been given a lamb cake on their first birthday. the cake is made just for them. my boys have done well attacking and my girls just cried and we're scared of it. wish all my pictures were digitalized and i would post all my kids with their cakes (alas i'm too lazy to retrieve them and run them through a scanner - maybe another time).

What a sweet tradition. Such a nice thing to carry on...

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
