Yesterday friends and family gathered at Tanglewood Park to celebrate a birthday. The birthday boy was a whopping 6 years old. It was a beautiful day considering it is the middle of November, and we were just out of a mini-monsoon season courtesy of Ida. Birthday-boy's Dad made a wonderful devil's food cake with homemade praline & chocolate icings. It was rich and wonderful and oh so filling. It hit the spot and was sure to cure any sweet tooth for miles around. He claims not to be a cook, but you know when he's in the kitchen there will be something delicious on the table. BDB's Mom made him a round brownie color wheel cake. BDB doesn't eat just anything...
We were the only ones not directly related to BDB. Others there were his grandparents (Dad's side), his other grandfather, his aunt, uncle and two cousins, Mom, Dad and older brother. We watched him open his presents, and play with a radio-controlled car that belonged to his grandfather. After everyone had had their fill of cake, soda and playtime, we packed up the stuff, and toddled off for a walk to look at the Christmas lights. I'd never seen the lights at Tanglewood before. After breaking off and going in separate directions, we all eventually met back up at the cars. By that time it had gotten dark, and the lights were really pretty. We made a slow drive out enjoying the scenery. We decided to forego the pizza we had planned for dinner in favor of a quick dinner out at a Mexican restaurant in Clemmons. We hadn't eaten at Cozumel in years, but we used to like it a lot. We split a 3-enchilada plate with extra rice and beans.
Not to worry that we were deprived, however we had the pizza tonight. Yum!
