These figures represent various moments in the development of family life: the wedding, pregnancy, the child's first steps, school, family holidays, vacations, the maturation of children and their weddings, and ultimately the funeral of one of the spouses in a sweet grave. The children have already tasted a piece of this cake, embodying another proverb: "The infant's first step is the first step towards their death."
