January is a BIG Birthday month for us at the Seven Clown Circus. The three oldest celebrate their birthday so it’s always a crazy time planning and executing family and friend parties, not to mention delivering class treats. By the end of the month I’m definitely all partied out. In fact, when the doctor told me that the twins were due in January I actually did get tears in my eyes. I didn’t know how I’d do FIVE January birthdays. They (the twins) took pity on me and came in November.
That’s beside the point though. The point of my post is this:
I have three children who have birthdays that fall in January and I have a sister in law that makes said children amazing birthday cakes out of the goodness of her heart. I’m SO grateful, and my kids are too because my cakes don’t look or taste like hers.

I’m also playing along with Way-Back Wednesday this week.

I’m first! I’m first! I have never been first. I am so excited.
Your January sounds like our September! Happy Birthday to your three sweeties!

I’ll tell them you said so!
I love how Jeff (I’m guessing it’s Jeff) is holding back Garrett. So funny.
Those are really good looking cakes. I might have to steal the strawberry cake. It is sooo cute.
I would have cried for you if all 5 of your circus had birthdays in the same month. That is financially, physically and emotionally draining.
Happy Happy!!

Your January is our January, except I only have to plan one kiddie party. The other two birthdays are my mom’s and my husband’s and we simply have dinner out.
Those are fabulous cakes! I wish I can make cakes like those.

Look at these cakes! Your SIL is amazingly talented…has she ever considered going into business?
Twitter: 7clowncircus
February 9, 2010 at 5:53 pm
I’ve told her she should………maybe if more people say it she will.
All those cakes would definitely throw a kink in my efforts to be healthy! At least you have enough people to eat most of the cakes, right? When we make birthday cake it is around FOREVER…. or at least until I eat it.

Not enough. Not enough.There’s always too much left for me.

from one cake maker to another (well to your sis anyway) LOVE the cakes!! and I love that you let each one have an individual cake and you don’t combine any parties!! How did your kids get so big – what are you feeding them? Oh yeah, it’s that CA sunshine! Of which I need lots of right now! no sun in weeks!
Bless you! That is so sweet you make each of their birthdays so special:) Happy WW!
Twitter: 7clowncircus
February 9, 2010 at 8:46 pm

Wow, good thing the twins saved you from the 5-birthday craziness!! That would be extra circus-like!
The cakes look almost too good to eat, almost…

February 9, 2010 at 8:46 pm
The last one was uncommonly delicious. It could have been the death of me. I couldn’t leave it alone.
FAbulous cakes but the kids…the kids are the best part of those pics for sure.
We don’t have any birthdays in the same month in our immediate family but our extended family has FOUR on April Fools Day!!

Amazingly, our birthdays are spread out–January, March, May, June, August, October, and December. Is that crazy or what?

We have a similar issue in November with birthdays. We have 1 every week!

Wow. One a week? That’s wild!
those are amazing!!!!!!!!!! I only have 2 kids. Maybe she can make them for my kids too? She can even spend a few months planning since they are summer bdays.
I like cake. I wish I could make pretty, yummy cakes like that.

February 9, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Such cute cakes!
I could not even imagine if you had to celebrate 5 birthdays in January…that would be insane! Three is probably hard to juggle, but way more manageable than 5. You would need to use February as a vacation month! LOL
Your January is like our July. The pictures were fantastics and the cakes looked awesome.

What do you do for the twins? Do they each get to pick a cake or do they have to share?
Your January sounds like our February
We celebrate and celebrate and celebrate!!! Happy belated birthday to everyone there.

I would be tired at the end of January too! But, at least that’s 3 out of the way for the year.
We have one January birthday!
Happy birthday to ALL three of your Garnet babies!

Oh my gosh! I can not even imagine that many Birthdays! WOW! Just my one baby has a Birthday in January! I feel bad for him a little because it seems like everyone is all Christmas’d out by the time his rolls around.

Hey, just came over from Jen’s place at Buried with Children. Great carnival. Maybe I’ll get a chance to join next week.
I also saw you posted on my prompt (10 things you didn’t know before you become Mom) from Mama Kat’s. One of mine is that my bathtub needs a garbage disposal (triplets +spinach ravioli = yuck in the tub!).
Great blog!

Love those cakes!!
Amazing cakes…my MIL makes my kids’ birthday cakes. I think the best that I could do are some pretty spiffy cupcakes..lol
Those are too cool! I love the strawberry one. ;0)
I will be understanding your pain soon enough this summer. My third child in do in July and we already have two birthdays in July with my youngest and me.
