Happy Birthday Sean!

Sean turned eleven today.  Somehow that seems rather old.  Thankfully he is a rather laid back kid since none of his presents arrived in time for his birthday.  Ok, one did but as usual it is a joint gift to share with Bryan so we are keeping it until next week.  And Mom and Dad will be taking both older boys to the drive-in next weekend when we have babysitters for their present.  Yes, we like to encourage experiences rather than presents for their birthdays, especially as they get older.  Memories typically last longer than gadgets, especially around here it seems.

Sean requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate sprinkles and chocolate ice cream.  You've got to love simple and easy.  And pure chocolate overload.  Even without presents, Sean said he had a great day.

And here is just an extra picture of chocolate cuteness of a child who said "yup" when asked if the cake was good.  And at one point managed to shove half a piece of cake into his mouth.  He's learning early to eat the good stuff quickly before it disappears.
