Ricky

Ricky is my brother-in-law (Carol's husband).

Ricky likes to hunt.

Ricky also had the misfortune to be born on Christmas day.

His Mom always fussed at him saying he made her

miss Christmas dinner on the day he was born!

We celebrated his birthday on Christmas Eve (2008).

Everyone liked his cake, though I didn't get

to spend as much time on it as I wanted to.

My sister, Anna, told me she doesn't understand

how I can enjoy something so much that takes so much time to get done.

I guess we all have our favorite things to do...and baking is one of mine!

Ricky blows out his candles while Ian patiently waits.
