Happy National Chocolate Cake Day, my friends! Far be it from me to ignore a "national" holiday, right? This is a photo of our celebration of this monumental day from 2015. My Peyton was an amazing baker back then too. She will be whipping up another one for us tonight to enjoy after our simple supper of VeggieBeef Soup and dinner rolls. This little special day is just the first in a string of upcoming holidays to celebrate as lavishly or as simply as we choose.
Here are the dates for this year, along with some photos of how we marked these days in the past. We did this not only for the immediate excitement of breaking up long winter months but also for the opportunity to make memories. Memories my children will carry on for years to come. If you choose to celebrate, be it with decorations and games or with cozy meals and cards, here are some special days to remember.

Happy Wednesday, my friends!
And if you feel like whipping up or buying a chocolate cake today, please share a photo! It will be fun to see!
It so nice to get to look back and see some of your old photos again! ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love it! Such a fun way to make the cold winter months fly by.
ReplyDeleteHappy Everything!! I love the old photos and celebrations. That cake looks AMAZING! Please send Payton to my house! Today was reset Wednesday (aka WW ~ so I was going to try to be good this week.. pfffft!).
ReplyDeleteOh, and that red plaid chair... I NEED IT. : )
A lovely look at your celebrations that make up the patchwork of life. My goodness your kidos have grown up! So much good food at your place, Billie Jo! Enjoy your beautiful chocolate cake. I'm afraid all I'll be having in the way of chocolate is a piece of 90% Lindt chocolate, but still enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteYou have always been such an A+ Mom in the making everything feel so special dept. Love that so much! Now I want chocolate cake though and already did my store run. Lol I think I may whip up some easy brownies and call it a day. 😉
ReplyDeleteYou know I am on a low carb diet and you have now killed me.....
ReplyDeleteI am going to resist the chocolate cake. Such a joy to visit today and share in your memories of past celebrations. Such fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I almost forgot about Groundhog day. Just around the corner. Such fun photos. I kept it simple (and selfish) and just made a chocolate mug cake last night. In my defense, my husband's birthday is in just over a week and we'll all have chocolate cake then, didn't want to take away from that specialness. Hope you enjoy your Thursday!
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~

Hugs and Love,
