For I've grown a little leaner, grown a little older...
I promise you all that this cake tasted every bit as good as it looked. It was a double-layered devil's food with vanilla frosting dyed green decorated with M&M's, and I made the whole thing myself. By now, of couse, it's all gone, but at least I was able to get these pictures before everyone dug in.
On Grandma's dining room table. Isn't it lovely?
The cake close-up.
Mom got me an end table that I'd been wanting forever. (Sara asked when I was setting it up, "Is it everything you dreamed it would be?") Athena and Josh sent me "Happy Birthday!" text messages, and Josh offered to find me a nude picture of Sean Murray. Haha. I told him I'd prefer one of Cote de Pablo. Sara gave me a pin that says "I Love Ducky" and an NCIS t-shirt that I'm wearing right now. It's awesome!
