Festivities

A few pics from the BirthDAY. Gary wanted something with Green Chile for his Birthday Dinner so I made him Chicken Enchiladas with a little extra Green Chile. I made him an Angel Food Cake with whipping cream and strawberries. I don't know about Gary, but it was MY favorite and I couldn't even THINK about making something else!Gary is just like his Dad and takes pictures of food (pretty sure I've mentioned this before) so here is a picture of his piece of cake.

There's a party goin' on around here

For this guy, it's the 29th day of his birth. TODAY. RIGHT NOW. Yes, you can call him and wish him a happy birthday, He'll love it! Or text him, that's just fine too because the texting started last night at 11:45pm.

We sort of have this thing with Gary's family about trying to be the FIRST to wish someone a happy birthday ON their birthday which means midnight--nope, doesn't matter if you wake the birthday child (or their spouse) up at midnight, it's their birthday! So, it's a serious deal if you get to be the first. Gary was already in bed (and I normally would have been too) when his phone started just beeping away. He had over 25 text messages in just a few short minutes! I'm not sure who he considers to be first since some were technically before midnight so I better not even say but I'm sure he is feeling loved either way. So even though you obviously missed the chance to tell him FIRST, text/call him anyway!

...while the birthday boy was in bed dreaming away, this is what I was making when the texting party started around midnight when I was STILL up:This was my first attempt at making a banner. I learned from many mistakes and now know what I'll do differently the next time. All things considered, I thought it turned out super cute though and just want to leave it up clear until his birthday next year! :)HaPpY bIrThDaY Garbo! I love you to pieces!
