60 Candles



I baked the cake and bought the candles . . . wondering how it would work.
Kristal helped me space them . . . and they fit perfectly.



She and Ben proceeded to light it, Ben using a lighter in each hand for speed.


You could feel the anticipation and hear the soft "whoa" around the kitchen island.


We sang the Happy Birthday song and then came the blowing challenge


It  took two tries ... and smiles of victory followed suit.


Some candles got re-lit


isn't that what everyone does?


And so goes the story of the 60 candles!

Yes....that is what everyone does. The funny thing is I can remember doing that sort of mass candle lighting with our parents...is this really "us" now?

Now that is a pile of candles! I think I somehow managed to get through my milestone birthday without having to blow out all those candles. I love the photos of the kids watching the candle-lighting ceremony!
