Happy Birthday Ben

Growing up we never had elaborate birthday parties. We got to choose a birthday dinner and dessert. My birthday also was a little more complicated because it falls on General Conference weekend so large fun activities were not usually possible.

This year my birthday being on general conference weekend actually made my birthday celebration larger. We spent the day at the Ashton's house watching the conference sessions.  All of Wendy's family were also there. At some point Wendy decided that she was going to make a cake for me. I saw her puttering around in the kitchen and assumed that I was going to get a sheet cake with candles in it. Wendy had larger ideas. She made a two tiered cake with frosting drippings. Looked great for being a randomly thrown together cake.

The cake tasted pretty good as an added bonus.
