So yesterday was my son's 17's birthday. Eek! Anyway, for his birthday his sister and I couldn't get him to tell us what he really wanted. Knowing that his passion in life right now is video games, we decided to each get him one. So we took him to Gamestop and let him choose two games. He chose "Super Mario Galaxy 2" and "Rayman Origins" for our WII game system. He's been playing them pretty much nonstop since yesterday. He took potty, food, drink, and sleep breaks though, so he's good. LOL. While he was playing the first one after we got home, his sister, her friend, and I drove to the grocery store and got one already made chocolate cake (see picture), and ingredients for his sister's friend to make another one using a cake mix and special ingredients. Both cakes were and still are delicious! :)

The below is the cake we bought. The candles were purchased separately and added. :)

This is him just prior to blowing out the candles, for the 2nd time. He blew them out before this picture, but I took that picture with the camera on the wrong setting, so I asked him to redo the blowout. As you can see, I still didn't get a great, focused picture, but at least it is a picture. LOL.
