Cole turned 12 yesterday, or as my grandmother used to say, "12 times around the sun."
I didn't get many pictures - he doesn't like that anymore, but here he is opening one of his gifts. It's a remote control drone.
The cake he requested: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownie Layer Cake. Two layers of cookie dough (no eggs) sandwiched between 3 layers of brownie, topped with ganache, and decorated with piped-on peanut butter frosting. It took me all day to make and cost a small fortune, but birthday requests need to be honored!
We took the birthday meal (meatloaf, mashed potatoes, salad, as requested by the birthday boy) on the road to share with Grammie.
One of his gifts: a typewriter shaped note paper dispenser from Joanie. Where does she find these unique things?
As one of his birthday presents, today he invited a friend to go see Batman vs. Superman, Dawn of Justice. It was a very long movie (2 1/2 hours) but my favorite part was when Batman tried to run over Superman and the batmobile just pinged off him like a toy.
Thanks for all the cards and birthday wishes.
Have not got my card out to Cole yet, so please wish him a happy birthday for me!
