Today is Daddy's 30th birthday! Since I've been clamoring for a "happy birthday" party of my own for quite a while, Mommy indulged me by getting me a Thomas the Tank Engine balloon and letting me decorate Daddy's birthday cake (a flourless chocolate cake made with an 85% cacao Lindt bar and frosted with a Ghiradelli dark chocolate ganache--are you seeing a theme here?). I even got to blow out some of the candles! We topped it off with freshly whipped cream and Starbucks coffee ice cream. (Frankly, I would have preferred a raspberry coulis and some white chocolate shavings, but Mommy has very plebian taste.) It was almost as fun as playing with the three Bernese mountain dogs I met on my afternoon walk!
