Bryson's Birthday!!

I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD!!! Holy Cow!!! I have no idea how this happened but it did! I know, I know, Brysons birthday is 4 days after Christmas so it has been a couple of weeks but I still wanted to write about it! This was one of those time that make you think that maybe all the little things you do as parent actually do matter even though most of the time it seems they don't!

So a couple of weeks before Bryson's birthday we were at the table eating dinner and Braxton was talking about how they learned about Family traditions at school! My boys then started to talk about how we have a tradition that on your first birthday you get a train cake! And that you get a huge piece to eat yourself! (more like just smash up and make a mess with but whatever! lol!) Bryson then starts saying how cool it would be if I made him a train cake for his 10th birthday because 1 and 10 are kind of the same you know! I agree that it would be pretty cool but tell him we would have to see!

So for the lack of any better ideas for a cake and feeling pretty good inside that I have done something for them that even though small and kind of dumb they totally remember and LOVE it, I made him the cake!

Well come to find out his intentions for wanting the cake weren't as cute and tender as I had first thought!
They were based less around wanting to carry on a family tradition and more along the lines of wanting an entire huge cake all to himself! We compromised on one big piece!

Look at that face......Such a stinker!

On a side note, at least he has learned to use a fork in the past nine years!

Happy Birthday Bryson!!! I LOVE YOU!!! :)
