Bynn turns 12 – chocolate cake chocolate icing and Legos

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

January is a big birthday month at our house since 3 of our 4 members have birthdays then. We just celebrated Bynn’s 12th birthday.

It’s hard for me to believe he’s already 12, soon to be a teenager, already in many ways a very ‘big’ guy.

Not too big to enjoy a birthday cake, and Legos as a present though 😉

I’ve mentioned before that we celebrate birthdays a little differently at our house, at least for the boys, partly because my birthday and Sulseob’s are the same day, and partly because 1 remote control car is not fun when 2 really is, and partly because I love how much both of our sons enjoy and look forward to everyone’s birthdays at our house, there are presents for each of them, no matter who is celebrating the birthday.

It seems to be working still. Yesterday morning when I woke them to get ready for school went something like this:

Me: Hey, guys. Good morning. Let’s get going.

Ahn: Happy Birthday, Bynn.

🙂

Anyway, here are a few pictures. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing, the writing is just plain white whipped cream. You kind of have to hurry with that because it tends to melt fast.

They’re both big Lego fans, so that’s what they got for a birthday present this time.

Happy Birthday to me and my wife for 2012

Well, they come every year, if you’re lucky, and so far I’ve been pretty lucky. For a lot of years I have been very, very lucky.

So, another year and another birthday survived. Quite an accomplishment for me this time.

As usual we celebrated our birthday together (it is the same day after all ;-))

This time around I decided to try something a little different for the cake. Sulseob has been trying out making square cakes, and I decided to throw in a little extra on the decorations this time.

I claimed that there wasn’t enough space on the cake for both our names like I usually write on the cake, but really I just thought it would be nice for Sulseob to have her own cake for once. (I’ve not had my own for some time, nor one I haven’t made for myself, but I’ve had cake and a celebration with some of my students – thanks guys!! – so thought I’d do it this way this time).

This was waiting to greet me on Tuesday when I entered class:
