The pirate cake was a huge success! When he saw it, David said, "Tia, it looks perfect!" How sweet is that? Now you know why I love this kid.

And poor David had a little bit of an infection in his left eye. Thankfully, it seems to be fine now.

Only five more days and I have to do it all again, for Claudia, who's turning 10. She wants a "blue jeans" cake. Oy. Thank goodness this is only once a year!
