This past weekend, Tommy turned 16!
He requested these little stuffed pancakes for his breakfast, so I got up early and had them made before getting him up.
He was pleased with his presents, but not happy about having to wake up early on his birthday. His plan had been to spend the day watching movies and finishing up with the SU game, which was actually on TV here. However, others had planned a very different day. He was required to do a service project for Confirmation that day. So he and Sam headed to a convent where I guess they did a lot of dusting, and what was supposed to be a 9-12 day ended up being closer to 8-3:30. Needless to say, he wasn't a happy camper. However, he came home and planted himself in front of the TV watching his movies, until it was time for dessert.
He had a few friends over and we invited friends over, and as you can see, we had cake balls, whoopee pies, and chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, the boys here do not eat nearly as much as my Gainseville kids, and I have a lot more left over than I had hoped!
Etna even decided to put on a show for Tommy's birthday....
These are not the best photos, but we are pretty far away. It was the first we had seen the eruption, although it has been pretty active lately. Really cool!
