It was a casual gathering with a Halloween theme birthday cake from the grocery store. Before I went to buy it Dave reminded me to get candles. I stated that there was no way I could put 73 candles on a cake plus we were sharing it with a grandson about to turn 17. If I added all those the cake would melt before I got them all lit!
His answer, "Get the ones that are numbers....a one, a three and a seven." So I did. And Dave put them on the cake....the one next to the seven followed by the three.
A specific birthday and this idea worked. I did the math for next year, when Evan will be 18....but that's no good because Dave won't be 84!!! So maybe this only happens once and this was the year??? I won't go back through the calendar to check, but it was fun to watch them try to cooperate as they made wishes and blew out the flames. Dave told Evan to blow out the "one" and he would do the "three" and they'd both aim for the "seven".
Not sure if that really happened....but it was fun to catch the moment! Happy Birthday to two of my special "boys".
