What's a birthday without cake? I got a Coldstone cake and cleverly hid it in the freezer. I let it sit there for about a week and made her wait til 12:01 am to open it.
It's not really a dead dove, it's cake!
Along with cake, there was a cornucopia (see, Amber, not just for Thanksgiving!) of presents.
Some highlights:
I bought this solely for the challenge of wrapping it.
Success!
This was purchased for the illustration.
And this because it's sweet as hell.
The following is my favorite purchase, mostly because I like to picture the marketing meeting that lead to its inception. In my head it goes something like this:
Bob: We need a new product for kids. Something fresh and exciting.
Pierre: Well, what do kids like? Candy and toys. We need to figure out a way to combine the two. Something like Pez, but radder.
Bob: I've got it! What are kids' favorite things? Gummy worms and lawn care! We'll combine the two and call it Little Sprouts Candy and Grasshead.
Pierre: Genius!
*fin*
Of course birthdays aren't all about rampant materialism, so there was a homemade present as well. It's what I like to call the greatest mix cd in the world, and it contains some of Amber's favorite songs, as well as some random ones I found in my music collection (I'll leave you to figure out which are which).
