My older (and only) brother, Travis, turned 32 on November 21st and we had a little party for him that night at my parents house. The party was supposed to start at 6 but Travis and Brook were doing the Tour de Tucson (I have no idea how they get the motivation to do those things) and some of the people they were helping out by transporting their bikes were super late getting done so it made them late getting out and back home. We ate dinner before he got there but waited on the cake until he could be there to blow out the candles.
WOAH! That's a lot of candles. Will, Charly and Deacon were impressed by the number of candles that were on his cake, and the fire was even more impressive, Jack was totally mesmerized by it.
He contemplated his wish for a while, I wonder what he ended up going with. Does he get to pick something out of the treasure chest now?
And that would be a homemade German chocolate cake, thank you very much. None of this mix stuff for Travis. He has always had a German Chocolate cake for his birthday, for as long as I can remember. I am not much of a fan, it's a coconut thing, weird texture to me. I always had a pumpkin pie for my birthday. Yes, pumpkin pie in July! :)
Charly and Deacon playing with the mice that were purchased at a yardsale for Saffron. I wonder if Saffron ever got to see his mice, the kids loved them!
I will be kind enough to not post the pic of Brook's poor sunburned face, she forgot to wear sunscreen and by the time we saw her after her 66 mile bike ride her face was pretty red. Ouch. Jack didn't care though, he was delighted to see his Mama and share her piece cake with her.
Rowan listened intently as Papa gave him some much appreciated advice.
Miss Charly shared her Daddy's cake and I think she had a piece of her own too! Happy Birthday, Travis!
