Day 36: Cake for Breakfast

I forgot to mention in my post about the Superbowl that along with all of the fun, we had quite an array of food. We had everything from buffalo wings to thai food. But what everyone was waiting on what Gigi's chocolate cake. It looked sooooo good. Of course leave it to my husband to be first to cut into it but I wasn't complaining, so long as I had a piece. Problem was that Skylar really wanted a piece but it was already way past bedtime and I was not wanting to fight with her to go to bed once she was on another sugar-high. She had a bit of a sad face but handled it so very well so I told her "Skylar, mama is so proud of you for listening and acting like a big girl that I PROMISE you, you can have cake tomorrow. In fact, I'll let you have it for breakfast!" Her eyes lit up and she had a huge grin! The next morning Matthew and I were getting coffee and I was also trying to get breakfast together when out comes my sleeping beauty, half awake and asking "where's my cake?" She was NOT going to let me forget my promise so here she is at 6:30 in the morning enjoying cake for breakfast! Truth be known, had there been two slices I would've been chowing down right beside her. Gigi makes the BESSSSST chocolate cake. In fact I asked Matthew - what is it about Gramma's being able to throw-down on some cake? His response - they pour a lot of love into it. True dat.
