I’m not going to lie…I didn’t take pictures of all of my children with each cake. Actually, I don’t think I got pictures of the children with even 10% of the cakes, and sometimes, it was only one or two of them in the picture, and not all five. But for me, this wasn’t about taking their pictures with the cakes, it was about taking them to see new places, learn the history of our area, and make sure I recorded what the cakes looked like. That being said, I did try to get pictures at some of their favorite locations, and with their favorite cakes!

Even if they didn’t take pictures with every cake, I know that they’ll remember this birthday year for St. Louis, and that’s all I was really going for!
