Amy’s birthday was on Tuesday. I wasn’t able to be there, but the kids, our families, friends, a florist, and I made sure that the wonder woman in our lives had her day… 

Drew loves fireworks, sparklers, and all things that go boom. So it’s no surprise that being delegated the duty of lighting the candles was more than a cheap thrill for him. Sweet blue tongue dude!

He’s a true pyromaniac, just like his father. That’s what every responsible parent dreams of. Mmmmmhmmm. Just to be on the safe side, we hide the matches in some weird places around the house.

The lady of honor. Make a wish! Props go to Drew for snapping this rare photo of the superhero behind the camera.

This is the best cake I never made.

A special thanks goes to all of Amy’s friends who made her day special when I couldn’t. Never before has she had a birthday that tasted and smelled so good!
