Another year

Velina's birthday was on Saturday and we kicked it off in sweet, sweet style with a couple of Sprinkles, including their seasonal Key Lime flavor (very, very good), Banana (ridiculously delicious with great real banana flavor), Red Velvet (reliably great), and Chocolate Marshmallow (meh):

Needless to say, it was good:

Happy Birthday Gorgeous!
