lemon cheesecake - yummy!

Happy Birthday, Casey and Jimmy....

Here is the dessert I made to celebrate. It was delicious!
Cheesecake recipe from The Perfect Recipe Book.
Lemon curd was from America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book.

The boys decided one cake would be enough for both of them.
They ARE growing up!

I couldn't find any birthday candles - what kind of mom isn't prepared with birthday candles on a birthday? Seriously! So, out came a tapered candle. We all assumed that they could share, and blow out the single candle at the same time. But, Casey, funny Casey, had other plans. Can you see that Jimmy looks suspicious of his older brother and won't take his eyes off him? Sure enough, Casey sneaks in and blows out the candle right before we finished the song.

Now you can see the gleeful satisfaction on Casey's face, and the "Really?" expression on Jimmy's. We all thought it was hysterical - including Jimmy.

Dad steps in and gives Jimmy another chance.

It was a happy day!
