The Everlasting Birthday Celebration

If we had it more together, there would be one birthday event...with cake and presents and in one big shebang the celebrating would be done.  But, that isn't how it works at our house.  The gifts trickle in over the course of a week and the birthday event with friends isn't scheduled for another week from now! So be it. 

But, we did manage to have a little birthday dinner for our resident 3-year old. Complete with his favorite pesto pasta and a new surprise (possible tradition?) of chocolate fondue...hence the chocolate face.  Dipping fresh fruit into chocolate sauce actually seems a bit healthier than a big slice of cake.  Plus, you can't beat the fun factor of dipping! 



Of course, there was a mini cupcake because this guy...who is now 3...woke up on his birthday, looked at the dining room table and said "BUT THIS IS NOT CAKE" when he saw his cheerios.  You can't deny that child a little cake, can you?
