Lucas' B-Day



Good Monday, everybody!
First of all, thank you all for your kind, sweet and supportive words about my recent problems at home... Things are still messy, but I believe that after a good talk this week, we can get back to the tracks, let's see... All I know is that I want back the man I used to live with for ten years before moving...
But let's go to what matters... Lucas's b-day photos! That was a great day. He woke up at 6am, and got all happy with the mosaico toy, made out of recicled wood pieces, that he was dying to have - stupid me forgot to take a photo of it... I spent the previous day making the cake: two layers of chocolate cake and one of carrot cake in the middle (requested by the b-day boy!). That was a challenge to me, because I have never made something this big (for my standards...). Each recipe was double, and I was all worried that the layers would fall when mounted. But no! Everything turned out really tasty (well, at least, nobody went to the bathroom during the party after eating it... LOL). Mom made the filling with condensed milk and plum, delicious... She also made all the little round chocolate candies that are a must in any Brazilian kid's party (do you guys have it there?). Ben 10 was all around, and I got my little witch sleeping late happy and older...
Below with my mom, can you believe she's 76? :o)
Now with Rodrigo's parents too, and mom:
Ready to blow the candles...

Lucas looks like a very happy birthday boy!! Hope things are a little happier for you right now.

Your cake sounds/looks wonderful and wish I could've hopped on the broom and come down for a spell. LOL

Oh my, that cake looks wonderful! No, we do not have the tradition of little chocolate balls here, but I would surely like to import that tradition, it sounds so fun and delicious!

I will be thinking of you and praying for you, let's hope Rodrigo gets over whatever is stressing him and causing him to be so critical. I wonder if being near his parents is putting a stress on him. I know it would have made me lose my mind to be near mine. LOL...
