There were actually about ten candles on the cake, but the lighting and the iPad camera made it look like a blazing fire.

and I thought, "Why don't you just buy those numbers instead of so many candles?" Then upon closer inspection I can see there are only a few candles on the cake and the lighting makes it look like a lot.

If the IPad camera had a flash, it would have taken in less light from the candles.

But truth be told Jen, Tobin truly adores you! It shows in each an every post he talks about you.

Please . . . just accept it!

Many of us would embrace that "wonderment"!

I gave it the benefit of the doubt, but it did look like maybe it was trying to be snarky.

Take it from me, Jen... you've got many, many, MANY joyous, joyful years before the "conflagration" on top
of your birthday cake means anything other than a slow shutter speed.
.
Take it from the voice of much, much, WAY too darn much experience ****
.
.
You and Tobin take such great pictures -- your happiness can't seem to help but shine for all to see.
.
And you're both looking very, very pretty in this shot!!!

**** On the plus side, there was only ONE casualty resulting from all the candles on
MiddleFingerMom's birthday cake this year.
