It's hard to believe Adam turned 10 years old last week! To me, he'll always be about eight. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that. Anyway, this is his very first GLUTEN FREE birthday cake. The week before his birthday he was diagnosed with celiac disease, which means no more yummy treats made out of flour for him! His first question was, "Can I still have a pudding cake for my birthday?" Well I tried to make one gluten free, and it turned out okay I guess. He ate it, anyway.
Papa T. is famous for holding his presents up to his head and guessing what's inside, and it turns out Adam got the guessing gene. He held up every present and guessed correctly exactly what was inside! Maybe next year I won't let him give me a birthday request list and then we'll see just how smart he is!
The 4th grade buddies came over for a party, and seriously I don't think my eardrums have quite recovered yet. Talk about a pack of wild monkeys! They were funny though, and they had a great time. In honor of the winter olympics, we had several olympic events. Olympic eating was #1, and they all excelled at the sport.
After stuffing themselves so full they could barely move, they worked off a few calories by competing in the biathlon...
Around-the-world ping pong....
And ice hockey. The party was a big hit--Next year, though, I think we'll do something a bit calmer. Like getting trampled by wild elephants.
