That's what 40 candles look like, people!

Traci hit a birthday milestone today, so we decided to celebrate with an appropriate fire hazard this evening.  A site to behold, but the favored cake was the one that the kids made with Grammy this past weekend (thanks, Grammy).

I like the look on Katie's face in this one... Astonishment that her mom was still able to put out the flames in only one short inhale.

Dinner tonight (Mom's choice) was at Pizzeria Orso.  Fried calamari, wood fired pizza, and two cakes made for some broken Lenten promises, but we granted dispensation for the milestone.

As for Traci, she took on her new digits gracefully (as always), but can't help but look forward to Mike joining her in the 40/40 club in three weeks.
