I’m not sure how old Will was here, but he was clearly thrilled with his Mickey Mouse cake. His best friend Jeremey is getting a kick out of his friend’s reaction.

They met when they were two and are still good friends.

I can’t believe I made that cake. I don’t have the Mickey Mouse cake pan or the red tablecloth anymore, but I do still have the white platter.

I’m sure Will’s second-graders are making him cards and maybe even singing Happy Birthday. He told me that they often break out in song for no reason. We met the children a couple of weeks ago and they are such a cheerful bunch. The girls dance and twirl, the boys laugh, everyone chatters and it’s obvious they are happy. It’s a very fun elementary school. I’ve never seen anything like it.

So Happy Birthday, Will. I hope you have cake.
