February 6 and 51

It is Anna's birthday!



We woke up early and greeted her with a tray of coffee, fruit smoothie and avocado toast, each of us taking on a bit of the birthday offerings.  We had a box full of gifts and Anna chose one to open, a pair of black binoculars. Tonight we are having a family dinner with Barbro and Dave - manicotti, meatballs, garlic bread and seared bok choy with garlic.  We will also have cake. In fact, we will have two cakes.  Anna's favorite Tosca Torte, made by her mom, and a Prinsesstarta cake.   Our friend Hazel surprised Anna last night with this  classic Swedish Princess cake.  I've inserted a photo below - just so you can see the amazing layers of this crazy delicious dessert. It was quite the surprise - given that the cake was made by a 15 year old friend who got the recipe from the Great American Bakeoff.   It was such a nice birthday!
