Nothing out of the ordinary was planned for Monday. Mason sang happy birthday, breakfast pancakes were eaten up, presents were received, and an oh so divine birthday cake was served.
It gets harder every time to pick out presents. Having the only retail resource being the internet and sharing the same bank account, plus email account makes it all the harder. We have already compromised to only sometimes actually wrapping the gifts, and cards are required only for the super special occasions. We are still waiting to figure out what those are, because apparently they are not anniversaries or birthdays.
There are usually no complaints/returns from B's side. I have only gotten it wrong once. He was half-surprised this year with the typical birthday gifts, camera gadgets and a framed print of the map of the Azores.
Now back to the cake, I did get one actual surprise in there, bringing the yummitly scrumptous Cappuccino Fudge Birthday Cheesecake to share with his office and get a "Happy Birthday" serenade in. There are no other words to describe a cake that takes 5 HOURS to make. Please indulge yourselves here.
After caking eating, in celebration of passing the big Air Force inspection last week / B's birthday, B had only half a days work and a full day off on Tuesday. To top that off really in celebration of B's birthday he gets a day off on Friday.
Can't get enough of the laid back island life.
You outdid yourself on the capuccino choc. cheesecake, Jacki! Yummy and I wish I could have tasted it! Promise you'll make it for me someday! Happy Birthday to my wonderful, most missed son in the world! Love the pictures! Wayt to go... Brandon gets so many days off... I"m so jealous! HOpe my card made it in time! Love you guys!
