But see.. here's the weirdness... I actually love celebrating the actual day my child came into this world. Since I was able to talk, I have wanted to be a mom, so it is no surprise to me that I love making my kiddos favorite cake, and picking out the perfect present for them, and making their favorite breakfast, and just making the day all about them...
And they get all this for the low price of $19.99!!!!
Sorry.. I got carried away when I re-read that last paragragh. It sounded a bit like an infomercial, so I just went with it....
We made sure the day was special for him... Here's the rundown of what he requested...
Breakfast - Donuts (Yay.. I didn't have to cook)
Present - Money for gameboy games (Yay.. I didn't have to think)
Cake - Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting (Yay.. oh wait.. I actually had to work on this one.. FYI, I made a Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Cake with a layer of Peanut Butter Frosting followed by a layer of Chocolate Ganache courtesy of Food and Wine magazine.. I know.. I went a little crazy... What's new my people!)
Dinner - American Food with family.. so we picked Red Robin as it was halfway between here and where most of my family lives... (and again Yay.. I didn't have to cook!!)
Here are a few pictures to commerate the day.
My handsome men...
My brother and beautiful sis-in-law... who were laughing at the silly birthday card, which made them blurry. :)
Trust me... it was that good!
And lastly..sniff, sniff.. my sweet bubba's birthday portrait, complete with a Fauxhawk. I love it!! He..well, not so much.. but there is a bright, shiny, silver lining to this post...
..He still listens to me when I style his hair.
For now.
Oh.. and lastly.. he requested some more laser tag with Daddy and friends, so he still has that to look forward too. He is a lucky dude.. and so are we. We love you buddy!!
