Farmish Momma

From May 28th until July 6th every year I have two sons who are the same age. This is because Nicholas and Eddie are only 10 months apart. When you are the older of the two, these few weeks can go by pretty slow.

In most big families there are customs, traditions and policies which develop over the years. In our family we have a policy about birthdays. You get a birthday party until you are 5 and after that you may pick a friend to celebrate your birthday with. This includes going out to eat at your choice of restaurants and spending $50 on whatever it is that you have been wanting.

Nicholas chose to take all of us to his fav restaurant, Texas Roadhouse Grill. As a foodie, I personally love the ribeye and fresh made rolls with cinnamon butter. Here is Nick sitting in the birthday saddle.
Nicholas spent his $50 on a new Lego Soccer set which we had to order from Ebay since it has been discontinued. He received very generous birthday cards from grandparents and lots of phone calls.

After a very relaxing day (no chores on your birthday) he enjoyed his hamburger cake (his favorite food) and as you can see little brothers are grateful benefactors of birthday cake.

This is the look of a rare site in my home. The blissful look of a chocolate lover with a mouthful.

Happy Birthday Nicholas.
