The Birthday Weekend

February 20, 2013 by Holly Yzquierdo Leave a Comment

birthday boy and cake

This last weekend one of my son’s turned 4 years old. There have been a lot of birthday’s lately. We have celebrated all 4 of us in the last two months. Additionally, one of our sons that lives in Michigan with his mom just had a birthday and turned 14.

For the actual celebration we went out for pizza then came home for birthday cake. We have a local pizza place that makes gluten-free pizza so even my 2 year old can have pizza too. My 4 year old ate 3 big pieces of pizza and wanted more but we told him to save it for the next day.

There was a lot of discussion on Facebook about the Gluten-Free and Vegan Chocolate Cake. I’ll be sharing the recipe next week. I think it is a keeper. I sent the recipe out to several testers but I’m still waiting for their feedback.

My son got to pick out his present from us but was very happy to open a present from his Grandpa. My son LOVES his presents!

We had a lot of fun on Saturday too. We went out to the river, the weather was warm, and we all had a great time. My husband regularly takes the boys out there for a picnic but this was the first time they brought me.

At one point we heard a thundering noise, I noticed the other families were looking behind us. All of the sudden two horses came running down the embankment and crossed the river. The horses were very close, I ran over the boys but they weren’t fazed, apparently wild horses showing up isn’t a big deal to them.

The boys went back out to the river on Sunday too. It is their new favorite place. Pretty soon the crowds will take over so I’m glad they have been able to enjoy it.
