Birthday #2!

Paul is always coming up with creative ways to decorate for Kim's special day. This year Kim woke up to find 100 streamers hanging from the living room ceiling! He was also creative with Kim's cake this year. Kim was presented with 25 flaming candles atop a round loaf of Great Harvest's delectable Oregon Herb bread. (Paul actually requested this "cake" for his birthday, but Kim decided it didn't fit the "treat" category and made a brownie cake instead.) Paul decided this was the perfect occasion to show her what a delicious birthday treat a loaf of bread can be. And he was right--it was a great treat! In addition to delicious bread, we went out to dinner at Penelope's, a fun favorite restaurant of ours, and got ice cream cones for dessert.

This ceiling creation would be a hit in the Hirschhorn Museum of Modern Art in Washington, D.C. It fits right in with the style and flavor of their exhibits! Kim's birthday is a monument of modern art sequestered in a humble room in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! If the curator at the Hirschhorn sees this photo, he'll want to engage you to recreate it in a room in the Museum.
