John's family is visiting this week from Missouri so we had 25 people here for the party but I love a house full. I did try in vain to convince George to have an easier meal but again, he loves his traditional meal of kabobs, pasta salad, and fruit kabobs with a few extra things also.
This year George and his brothers are big into Daniel Boone. My Mom has the DVDs and they love to watch them and then role play. So, of course the cake he chose for this year was "Boone's Burrow" and while he had the picture in his mind of what it should look like it took a bit for me to get the mental picture. In the end, we figured it out together. The only downside was that I didn't order the figures I found in time and so the cake was just landscape but that didn't matter to George. He helped me put it together and decorate and it turned out cute, even without Daniel Boone (who of course arrived today).
Happy Birthday to my favorite 11 year old! :)

I cannot believe N. is already 11 - I still get choked up, even though he's your firstborn! I distinctly remember you being pregnant with him!!! Happy Birthday (late) to your little man! Love the cake and your birthday traditions!
The cake looks wonderful, as always. You are so creative.
Why does it always seem that other people's kids grow up faster? He is really becoming quite a young man now. I am sure he is a big help to you.
