A double celebration!

I'm coming in right under the midnight deadline to post pictures of our birthday/Fat Tuesday celebration. You see, my oldest, Michael turns... gulp!... eleven tomorrow, but we fast on Ash Wednesday, which would have meant no meat and no birthday cake.

He ended up choosing salmon for his birthday meal, but we decided to have it tonight so he could truly feast.
Michael's meal of choice: salmon, mashed potatoes, green beans, and orange soda.

And for his cake, he picked a King's Cake!


But Nicholas was the one who found the baby in the cake.

What fun! I just realized my youngest celebrates her birthday on Good Friday this year...we may have to celebrate early:)

It definitely was a win-win solution for us. Ironically enough, he was born on Ash Wednesday as well. He didn't mind that nearly so much though.
