Well, perhaps we are wrong.
Today marks the 15th birthday of our eldest child, Alyssa.
And in the grand tradition of our home, each person selects the "cake" of their choosing with which to begin the celebration.
Alyssa wanted a really big cookie...
Of course, the laptop she received at Christmas from us was also her birthday present (which was part of the deal!), but her brothers and sisters did pitch in to pick her up something...
Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack -- which is an add on to an existing computer simulation she loves. What I can't figure out, of course, is how is it when Alyssa's brothers and sisters pitch in to get her something, the pitching comes out of my wallet.
Well, here is the fabulous cookie and frosting that Cari so lovingly put on for Alyssa...
But apparently it wasn't sweet enough. Alyssa wanted more frosting! I suppose with her sweet sixteenth birthday just one year away, maybe she's trying to sweeten up - so we added a little decorative frosting to her cookie and ice cream...
We have a great picture of Alyssa taking a big bite, but we promised we wouldn't put her face on our website in any picture with her eating.
Hence...
If not the spirit of the law, at least we obey the letter.
Kekoa, however, begged us to take his picture with a cookie in his mouth...
And so it is with another birthday in our home.
Here she is, 6 months away from her driver's permit.
Oh boy. I can't wait.
