Uncle Gene's Birthday

April 21, 2007: Aunt Marlene asked Uncle Gene if he wanted anything for his birthday (as she does with her JW relatives every year), and he said, "Yeah! I want a birthday cake!" So, after Yovela's shower was over, Aunt Marlene pulled out a sugar-free Angel Food Cake topped with strawberries for Uncle Gene. We heathens stood around, sang "Happy Birthday" at the top of our lungs, and Uncle Gene blew out the candles for the first time in a LONG time. Way to go, Uncle Gene!


62 candles wouldn't fit on the cake - even if the Elma Fire Department would allow it!


It appears that the "sitting at the bar" tradition starts quite young in our family...Devon is 4!

And he huffed, and he puffed, and his dentures flew out and hit the cake...
