Firstborn turns 24

On Sunday I got off a little early so we could cook up a great birthday meal for Firstborn.  His request was for ribs and jalapeno poppers on the grill.  
I fixed baked potatoes with the works, a big salad,  and a chocolate cake to go with the grilled stuff.  I have a neat trick for getting big fat candles to stay on the cake properly.  I didn't make this up, but I forget where I found this tip.  I've been doing it for years.
I simply push a toothpick into the base of the candle.  

This is him on his first birthday...what a cutie!
 

I spiffed up the kitchen table for us to eat dessert after dinner. 
It's hard for me to get that he's 24.  I still see him as my curly haired angel baby.  No matter how big and burly he gets, he will always be my baby.

 
 The after-gift-opening entertainment was throwing tissue paper for the cat to play in..

Happy Birthday, Spencer!
