28

Patrick is now the old man in the house--he turned 28 on Friday. Happy Birthday to Patrick! Henry helped me make him a cake-it's a deliciously easy ice-cream cake, made with ice-cream sandwiches. If you need a easy, fast and delicious cake--email me for the recipe! He snuck lots of tastes as we made it, loving the cool whip "frosting" as he called it the very most. Then my dear friend Rachel offered to babysit so I could take Patrick out for a relaxing dinner that didn't require bringing any snacks, cutting anyone else's food, or ordering off of the children's menu. Henry had a blast playing with her--they made a lego person together and Henry named him "George Bush". When we got home we sang Happy Birthday to Patrick and dug into the cake. It was fun and relaxing.

Henry and Rachel--he loves her!
Me and the Birthday Boy (I think he's yawning in the picture, but we only took 1 other one and he was closing his eyes in that pic. Tired maybe??!)
I realized that we didn't have any birthday candles so we ended up using this fragranced votive. This picture is funny to me: Patrick looks annoyed from all of the picture taking, Henry looks ready to literally dive into the cake and William is crying for some food!

No wonder Patrick always puts his hand in front of the camera when I try to snap his picture- he either closes his eyes, or yawns! ha ha

Cute pics! You, Hen, and Rae Rae are so cute. (Old man Pat's not bad either... for an old man...) just joking!!!

Happy Birthday Patrick! And don't feel bad...jean is 30! Anyway, you (Christina, I'm talking to you now) crack me up with your votive candle! How funny. I would love the recipe for that ice cream cake.
