This weekend, we were excited to celebrate my little brother Jonathan’s (Man’s) birthday. He’s 26! Inconceivable! Unfortunately, Phillip missed out on the party since he had to be at the hospital for an overnight shift early in the evening.
The birthday boy.
A classic Kenslee look.
After presents, we enjoyed a seafood feast in Jonathan’s honor.
Lobster, crab, sushi, shrimp, crawfish, and fried oysters.
Man requested a family favorite lemon cake for his birthday. My granddaddy used to make all of the birthday (and other) cakes and they were delicious. Mom tried to make this one and it didn't turn out quite right - probably the baking powder. But, we stuck candles in it anyway.
In addition to that kind of sad looking lemon cake, Mom had some Boston Cream Pie shipped from Legal Sea Foods, Man’s favorite. We didn’t have to work too hard to convince Grandmother to try a bite – since it’s a layered dessert, we told her it was important that she take a full bite so she got every layer. She insisted that she couldn’t take a bite that big.
She made it with room to spare.
