Isaac and Matt got a year older while skiing in France. I brought cake mix and candles, but without an oven, I was out of luck. They did get fabulous French food for dinner and gorgeous weather for skiing, so it wasn't a total bust.
We celebrated Makenna's birthday a couple days early so we could jive with Matt's schedule. After searching two stores for Almond Rocha (available at least seasonally) or something similar, I had a brain wave for a crumbly caramel topping for her requested Race Cake. I made half a batch of caramel for carmel popcorn and just poured it flat and let it cool. I tried making an "M", but it wasn't nearly as fancy as I hoped. But the caramel broke apart nicely and worked well.

Isaac and Matt got to open their presents from Matt's parent's as well. Thanks!
