birthday

This was our last birthday for the year 2015 finishing off the Year of breakfasts out and getting to pick out his own gift.  We will be definitely continuing the breakfast out with just mama and daddy, but this next year I will be purchasing or making the gifts for them to unwrap.  I didn't care for them not to have wonderful surprises for their birthday...it was just odd. 
A boy turning ten is an exciting thing around these parts.  He got his birthday breakfast, then off to pick out his gifts...money from us and the grandparents.  For the rest of the day he just go to hang out and play, not having to do any chores, getting to pick his dinner and dessert.  Homemade carrot cake it was(a first for me).  It turned out...YUM!

Blessings,
