Happy Birthday!

My son turned 15 on Sunday. The years fly by so fast. They fly by faster the older they get.

I love the look of pride of his face after he blew out all the candles! I wish Blogger liked scanned images better, I have one of him at the age of 2 blowing out his birthday candles and the same look of satisfation on his face.

Generally I make the kids birthday cakes, it's just our tradition. See Dina the golden retriever lurking under the table? About 10 years ago, I left L's unfinished unfrosted birthday cake on the counter to cool. When I came back into the kitchen, Dina had eaten most of it. Never mind that chocolate can kill dogs. I was mad! And obviously, it had no negative effect on the dog. That was one time L got a birthday cake from the store. I don't leave cakes on the counter anymore. I put them on top of the refrigerator!

My older son came for dinner and it was good to see him as always!
