After a delicious dinner at Nest Wine Bar & Cafe in downtown Bethesda, we headed back to my parent's house for some presents and cake. The birthday cake turned out to be a success after much doubt. It's essentially the same strawberry upside-down cake I made for my 30th, but made using two square glass 9"x 9" baking dishes used instead of circular cake pans. I also used a pint of strawberries in each to have even more fruit as part of the upside-down magic.
I was kind to my mom and did not write her age on the cake and instead left it with two question marks. Perhaps that's why she's smiling.
And then we wanted to take a photo of my parents and my dad insisted on including Sebastian, whom he kept trying to convince to lick my mom on the face. Nevermind the fact Sebby is deaf, he kept talking to him anyways. My mom is the only one Sebastian is not allowed to kiss and for some reason, he knows it and never so much as licks her hand. But just this one time, while seriously invading her grill, he sneaked one good face lick. Maybe he's not deaf at all. Maybe he's just like every other male I know with selective hearing.
That said, I am looking forward to seeing all of my cousins, aunts and uncles, old family friends and close friends of Jeff this weekend as he gets married. There hasn't been a family wedding in maybe 10 years, so it should be a great time!
