In honor of Nonnie's birthday tomorrow, Brenden, Annie and I made the famous Kovalak birthday cake. Mom used to make the Mennonite chocolate cake from scratch with chocolate whip cream frosting per the family custom. Today I cheated and used a box cake, but still made the yummy frosting. The kids had a great time mixing and licking.
While baking, I blared John Denver which always reminds me of Mom (she played him constantly)! Brenden actually said the same thing I used to say to my mom. "I don't like this music, can you turn it off?" I laughed out loud and turned it up! Happy Birthday Mom!

You're such a good mom! And im so glad you take time to remember nonnie with the kids :-)
What a cool way to help your kids "remember" your mom. I'm inspired by this and am going to try and incorporate a special tradition to help my kids "remember" my grandfather. I love it!
