Yep. That’s right. On April 5th I became the mother of an eleven-year-old. (It’s all about me, of course.)
This grand event was celebrated by going roller skating with his siblings and as many friends as we had extra seat belts in the van.
So cool.
Sometimes watching was as much fun as skating. The DJ even let the younger brother request a song for the birthday boy. It was the Duke’s of Hazzard Theme Song.
Just a good ol' boy...
Not much of a cake man, he asked for birthday doughnuts this year.
Please disregard all my healthy eating preaching earlier in this blog...
And he asked, in order to make it “really special,” if he could serve everyone off of my wedding dishes. These are beautiful pottery dishes thrown by a dear friend of mine, which we registered for in place of china for our wedding.
The taper candles were also his idea.
Of course, I said yes, and then told him what really makes it special is that we are celebrating him.
Aw, Happy 11th!!! He sure is cool
I could die for the picture of him posing on the wall – that is beyond!!! And your dishes look gorgeous on the table…
LOVE the birthday doughnuts – and even more, momma’s birthday doughnut disclaimer! What a fun day…
I was just telling a friend about your pottery the other day, it still looks great! Can NOT believe he’s 11, seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 1st birthday and I was trying to feed him cake. Emphasis on TRYING. Thank you Anne for rescuing me
What a perfect 11th birthday! Wish we could have been there to celebrate with you guys. I ADORE donuts so love his “cake” request.
Met, it was certainly an easy cake to make on my part…lol.
I must remember your doughnut “cake” idea next time I’m volunteered to make dessert! Great idea!
