In our family we like to celebrate. Really any occasion will do. If we can celebrate with cake or ice cream or even leftover Christmas candy, we will party. This week we celebrated Audrey's half birthday. And nothing says Happy Half Birthday like half a cake, especially a chocolate one.
When cutting the cake, we played a fun game called “achter de kast" which translated into Dutch means “behind the cupboard." Jon learned the game from a family in Holland while he was serving a mission for our church. Someone, in this case the half a birthday girl, hides behind the cupboard.
Then when each slice of cake is cut, she called out who would receive that piece. It makes it fair, and fun - and who knew slicing cake could be so much fun.
Call us next time you have a birthday, we'll have cake.
