But, of course, the girls did not want to miss out on birthday cake, so I made a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and caramel sauce, and we sang happy birthday and ate cake after lunchtime. Even Nathaniel got to have a few little pieces of cake - he made quite a face after the first bite, but he scarfed down the rest, so I think he must have liked it!
Here are birthday photos from the last few years, for a fun comparison. Hmmm, looks like I have them sitting on the wrong sides of Ben's lap this year.
