We celebrated John's birthday early this year due to the fact that he was going to be back in Texas on the 18th. Mom did a great job on the cake, (as usual) with Christianna as assistant.
New clothes, the previously pictured Cowboy hat, and recipes with accompanying ingredients for him to use on his cooking nights in the apartment.
(in the above picture, John is entertaining us with stories of his time in New York and Maine)
