My daughter Gabrielle turned 9 today …

Check out the amazing treasure chest cake that Teresa baked for her:

Gabrielle’s on the left, of course. Ethan (5) is in the middle. He’s barely visible but happy.

Aidan (2), on the other hand, appears to be bored by the proceedings, and is simply waiting out the tiresome interval between the unveiling of the cake and the actual eating of the same.
