We tend to celebrate birthdays with a dinner and small party at my parents' home on a day that everyone's free. With my brother's company going under and having to work retail while job hunting - he doesn't have many of those evenings, so we sometimes have to wait a few weeks before having the party. Or in this case, we had to combine my birthday from September with my nephew's birthday from early November. I got to pick dinner and Cannon got to pick the cake.
We had a thick chicken noodle soup with my Dad's homemade noodles served over mashed potatoes... yes, it's a lovely, lovely starchy fest. There were also veggies and a salad to round it out, but this is comfort food for my family. The cake was a chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting inside and regular cream cheese frosting outside. It was a Transformer's cake with small Optimus Prime and Sidewinder action figures that snarkyboy found for me.
I left off the action figures until we were ready for the cake so Cannon could put them on himself.
