A few months ago, Brennan told Oma and Opa that he really wanted hockey sticks so that he could play roller hockey in our driveway. They found a set that included sticks and a goal:
We were hoping for warmer weather in Georgia. Thanks, Dad, for playing so many cold games of hockey with him.
Even Lauren got into the action for a little while:
That evening, we had a simple pan of brownies for dessert. My 2010 supply cake decorating skills had already been depleted by this point.
Lesson learned from the brownies: Wait until they cool a bit before you insert the candles. I baked the brownies while we were eating dinner and tried to serve it immediately afterwards. Hot brownies melt wax candles:
It was still yummy! The kids talked about how they were extra tasty because of the extra wax and spit.
Live and learn. :) That's something I would do, so definitely a good tip to pass on.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Brennan!
We're still having unusually cold weather here in metro Atlanta. They are predicting snow again tonight!
ReplyDeleteI never would have even thought about the brownies melting the candles!! I'll have to remember that for the future, because that would be tragic. I LOVE brownies.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Brennan. I miss visiting with you and Addison on Wednesday nights at church (while your dad was singing with the praise team.) Hope you had a nice birthday X two!
