eleven

It was only yesterday that you were my bright eyed baby boy. My first born... diving into the the world feet first and quite early, you let me know that you were ready for life's adventure. How can it be that we celebrated your eleventh birthday this weekend?

A bunch of buddies made their own pizzas and created their own sundaes. Featured these toppings, of course. The brownies that were the foundation of the sundae? Find them here. I've tried millions of recipes over the years, but these have been my constant favorite since junior high. Seems fitting to bake them for my son, now. The candle from my son's first birthday has been used for every family birthday (needing a one) since then. The photo below includes the pic from his baby carrot cake. How amazing to be blown out again one decade later by that same incredible boy.
Feeling weepy... in the best possible way. Pin It
