Zach's B-day

I've been such a slacker with this blog lately. *sigh*

Well, Zach is now in his 31st year- meaning he has achieved age 30.
He warned me beforehand not to do anything surprise-ish or big. (Yet another way that he and I are alike)
So, we just had a small, but festive birthday party at home.
Lincoln was soooooo excited. He's beginning to understand the concept of Birthdays and presents.
When he woke up from his nap there were balloons on the table, a banner, birthday cake, and presents waiting for our little family party.
You'd think it was his birthday--and in all reality all that fluff was really more for him than it was for Zach. Kids can make every event so much more fun and I'm so glad the two of us fuddy-duddies have children now to bring some excitement into our world.

Lincoln helped Zach open his presents and blow out the candles on his bike-wheel cake (the only cakes I can do come in 9" circles or 9x13 rectangles and require minimal decorating) after we finished Zach's birthday dinner of grilled chicken alfredo.

It was a nice, quiet, festive birthday!
