In our home
we have always had the birthday fairie…he leaves the kids a little something
at the foot of their bed the morning of their birthday.
Always. Maybe some chocolate, maybe some socks…
maybe a small gift ya never know.
Somewhere…as our oldest became a teen…
he took on a bit more of a mischievous persona
Some might even call him bit of a creeper…in fact some in the house do.
But….religiously, every birthday he shows up
missing teeth and all…the first to wish them
a happy birthday.
…except the year the big black dog took off with him…and lost his hat.But that is a whole other story.
Who me??
This weekend we celebrated another birthday at our casa…an 18th Birthday…
and the little creep…err Fairie… joined us. And even helped to make a
Coca Cola Chocolate Cake <---recipe here
Southern, to be sure, but when you are a die hard fan of Coca Cola…as this 18 year old is known to be
then what’s a Fairie to do... but try a Coca Cola Cake.
With all the decadent goodness of chocolate cocoa and buttermilk and Coke…
and marshmallows
Decidedly gooey
Decidedly imperfect…
In that perfect kind of way
But aren’t we all?
Happy Birthday to our favorite 18 year old Coca Cola lovin’
Kidlet…
Love,
The Birthday Fairie.
heh heh heh.
