Scribe's birthday celebration happened in two parts. Saturday night we enjoyed a special dinner of steak fingers, mashed potatoes, and cornbread, at his request. Of course, don't forget the real sweet tea!

Mountain Man asked me if I wanted some mashed potatoes with my butter. However, I won't tell you how many helpings he had. :)
Mountain Man cooked these up for us and enjoyed some white gravy with them this time.

Little Bit wasn't happy to have been found out. We caught her in the pantry enjoying the barbeque chips while we were cooking dinner.

There were lots of happy moments as Scribe enjoyed opening his gifts.







Scribe's birthday "cake" was actually a fruit and cream pie. And, no, this Mama didn't make it.

This morning we celebrated with one of Scribe's favorite breakfasts...cream cheese scrambled eggs and cinnamon rolls.

Happy Birthday, Scribe! We love you!
