The cake with lots of candles. I was halfway through lighting them and they all blew out. I said, "forget it" and just had her blow out the lighter : ) The cake is a Yellow Cake Mix from Betty Corcker. We added orange zest to the mix and used the juice of one orange plus water to have the necessary amount of liquid it called for. The rest was just way the box calls for it. The filling was dulce de leche. You can buy it at a Latin Market. The frosting was Brigadeiro. Its sweet and condensed milk, one tbs of chocolate powder and a tbs of butter. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Then spread over the cake. Its a sticky brazilian fudge. We had to make a double batch of frosting. 
Some of abuelas grand-daughters. Kylie was MIA. 
Otis and Marissa (Marcos and Maria's baby girl) they are two+ weeks apart. It will be fun to see them grow up together :)
Esteban was the grill master that day. We had steaks, oven roasted potatoes, grilled veggies, green salad, a bean dip and chips and salsa. It was all very yummy!
The best part of this day was seeing my mom so happy. She does so much for all of us! We love you ma!
Tomi and I forgot to give her a "sito susson" for her b-day... i guess it was have to wait until next time :)
