Happy Birthday Conor

Since Conor's birthday fell while we were on vacation, we decided to have his celebration before we left. He requested a healthy-ish cake (huh?) and this was the best I could do! It's the Ultimate Flourless Chocolate Cake from Cook's Illustrated. Not so much a traditional birthday cake, but Conor was happy so I was happy too. I think we were all proud of ourselves when we were satisfied with one piece of the cake and then shared the rest with our neighbors. Not a bad idea to have a party the day before you leave so that you have to give the rest away and not waste a perfectly good cake...I think we're on to something here. One piece is really all you need with this super rich cake anyway.

Lillie was the most excited about all the festivities and could not wait to get a piece of that cake. Only three and already a strong appreciation for chocolate!

 Quinn was a big fan of the cake too.

We had a nice little party that got us excited to have even more fun on vacation in Florida. Happy birthday, Conor...here's to another fabulous year of life!
