b-day
b's birthday was last weekend. he's like me. doesn't much care for parties. he didn't want one. aunt julie came over on thursday for carrot cake birthday cake. happens to also be my favorite. he failed to blow out all 11 candles in one breath. twice. saturday afternoon he went to a friend's birthday party. saturday night we went to youth theatre production of annie. sunday i threw him a surprise dnd game. joe and mary and the girls came over for a table top game. mary politely disappeared and took care of all the visiting of locals so joe wouldn't have to. the beautiful and talented alisa whipped up a lasagna, coffee cake, and seconds and thirds of broccoli. which just tickled her pink. a good time was had by all.
