Spencer turned 14 this year! He wanted to celebrate by going out to the Oriental Buffet for dinner. Luckily, Nana and Papa were able to make it here for his birthday and got to go with us. All the boys love to try the weird stuff at the buffet table. Spencer tried baby octopus this time. He ate two of them! Usually, they just try to put the restaurant out of business by eating mounds and mounds of crab legs and shrimp. Spencer wanted me to make Joe's Root Beer Cake for his birthday cake, but it didn't turn out like Joe's. We'll have to try and revise that recipe or just resort to getting our free piece on our birthdays. Spencer's favorite presents were the "Why" book from Nana and Papa, the drummer T-shirts ("Plays Well With Drums", and "Got Drums?") and beef jerky from Granny and Grandpa, and of course the Nintendo DSI that he paid half of. Love you, Spencer. Happy Birthday!
Happy 14th Birthday to our Spencer!
