Birthday Party was Moved

My oldest son, and oldest child, turned 10 today. It is hard to believe that 10 years ago today, he was born. It feels like it was only yesterday he was born, weighing in at 7 pounds even.

But my poor child, his birthday party had to be rescheduled. We got slammed with snow and ice. Ok, ok, anyone in the north will say, "That's not snow and ice! That's an inconvenience at best. No need to shut down the town." But that's pretty much what heppens when we get more than a dusting of snow and it stays cold.

Tennessee is not as prepared for these types of storms as other states, mostly because they don't happen all that often. Until this year, the last time we had snow and ice this bad was in 1998.

So, with the call for snow and ice and the hill you have to drive (or walk) up to get to my house, we felt it safer to reschedule my son's birthday party (which was supposed to be yesterday). Rather, we had a small, family only, party (with cake!).

He took the rescheduling well. He even took it well that he wasn't getting his football field birthday cake until the party for his friends. I baked a smaller cake and decorated it on Friday and then on Saturday we cut into it (strawberry cake - my son's favorite).

 

Orange and yellow are his favorite colors and he pretty much oversaw every bit of my baking and decorating this cake. It was really good too....

until the 2 indoor doggies knocked what was left off the kitchen counter and devoured what was left.

Oh well. Kids, dogs and cats... I have a busy life.
