the big 0 - 7

Turned the big 0 -7 and I have practically no photos of the evening because it was just so busy. But he is definitely growing up, notice the second photo, that grim look is a boy holding his temper because one of his cousins blew out the candles first.
I tried to PP the darkness and red out of the pics a bit. They are truly snapshots, but I'm ok with that.

..cheating....

On our way out of the city, we had to stop for White Castles. Hubby and I each snacked a couple and some fries before stopping in a hotel for the night. We left the rest out in the deep freeze, so the kids could have them later. I'm cheating beacause I did not take a single photo on the 17th, this was Friday night (the 16th) But this is the runner up to the fountain of light photo I posted for the 16th.

and all is right with the world.

The lovely foamy swirl atop a Breve from our local coffee house. Its hard for the day to go wrong when you follow Church with that.


Throw in a slice of carrot cake to share with the hubby....
.... who got the last bite...
.. and hot chocolate for the kids..
.. and the morning is Complete.

yummy

The way we start all red sauces at our house. Browned butter, garlic and chopped onion. This was the start of New Years Eve Lasagna, Big Grandma's recipe.
