Ninety-two, Can you imagine?!

For the past two years, my great aunt, Aunt Doris, has lived with us! She is crazy, funny, ornery, and keeps us on our toes at all times. She cannot remember anything to save her life, but between my mother and I, we keep her on a schedule as much as possible; however, she does her own thing some times and we make do with it. Today is her 92nd birthday! Hooray! I am so glad that she made it to 92! Each year, we set a new goal for her: just make it to the next birthday without falling or having hospital stays. It keeps her going and gives her something to look forward to. Plus, she's stingy and wants to be the oldest one in her family. To be the oldest one, she needs to make it to 93. :) We joke all day, every day, and we both love pestering each other. She's a joy to be around 99% of the time and the other 1% of the time, she is confused and mad because she has mixed things up or doesn't remember something that she wants to remember.

 I decorate the house every year, for her birthday.

We only put one candle on the cake... If we would've

put ninety-two candles on there, the house would've caught on fire. :)

Today we celebrated her. She didn't remember getting presents this morning or even opening them, and that is okay. We reminded her of her gifts and I joked with her "The good thing about not being able to remember anything is that gifts are just as exciting the second time you open them as they were the first time you opened them." She laughed and laughed. My mom brought her home some fried chicken from KFC (fried chicken is her favorite). After dinner, I brought out the gluten free, Black Forest cake that I made her for her birthday and it was delicious! It is my favorite cake. 

 She wasn't too sure if she wanted to share!

SERIOUSLY. BEST. CAKE. EVER.

The cake does not look as appetizing as it tasted... but

that is because our BREAKER FLIPPED ON THE FRIDGE!

Seriously, how does this happen?!!! Luckily my brother caught it in time.

The cake was still okay, but the icing had started to soften a bit, which 

caused it to slide off the cake some! It still tasted delicious though!

AND... Aunt Doris didn't mind, or notice. :) 

It is so easy to make too!

• Gluten Free Chocolate cake mix (I used HEB brand)
• Cherry pie filling (mine was homemade)
• Cool Whip Icing (usually a mixture of cool whip and powdered sugar, but I use cream cheese icing in place of the powdered sugar)

Cheers to you Aunt Doris! Cheers to another year!
