REAL photos this time

I expect you have recovered from that pumpkin photo?

My brother-in-law sent some photos from their recent visit here. Here’s Jake lighting his birthday cupcake:

And here’s Jake and his cousin:

We took a pair of group photos, too. Jake is as photogenic as usual, but Karen and I are Mrs. and Mr. Squinty. One of these days, we need to take an attractive family photo.

Aw, hell. I’ll just crop us out:

All that, and he knows how to find a pumpkin’s clitoris, too.

    A birthday CUPCAKE?! That’s the best you could do? The candle is bigger than the cupcake. You are right; Jake photographs great.

    You think I’d cheap out? He wanted cupcakes, so cupcakes he got. But the candles, yeah, I effed that one up good. I was sure I had a few from last year, but no.

    Cute pictures! Jake and his cousin look so much alike.

    My monkey wanted cupcakes this year, too. Who am I to argue??

    He’s such a cutie, though! 🙂

    You know what’s even more fun than birthday cupcakes? Birthday cupcakes baked in ice cream cones. Total PIA to make (it’s hard to keep them from tipping over, and you have to make a few test ones to get the amount of batter just right), but way cool. Especially with fluffy, sticky frosting and sprinkles.

    Jesus, why didn’t you just use a signal flare?

    Da Nator,

    Because the kid keeps his face to close to the flame, that’s why.

    Eternal love,

    Jesus

    Thanks, Kris, CD. Darla — sounds like fun! I’ll have to experiment with that.
