Canadian Praries - 1930s Great Depression Birthday celebration

What about it?

My Grandmother once told me about a birthday she remembered fondly, and I just came accross this photo of the occasion. Her family lived in the back of a pickup , traveling around the praries during the Great Depression looking for work for my Great Grandfather. They had a couple chairs, mattress and some cooking necessities and they would set up crude camps and sleep in the bed of the truck. Needless to say they had a rough childhood. One particular Birthday her mom wanted to do something special and she managed to make a small cake for my Grandma, and it was a big highlight of those years. When she told me about it she even recalled them having taken a photo to commemorate the occasion, but that she hadn't seen it in years. I was quite pleased to find this, knowing the story behind it.
