big boy birthday

we had a birthday around here recently. i made dan this favorite chocolate mocha cake. we're still indulging in it.

dan opened a pile of gifts, including the rocky and bullwinkle video collection that i found for him at a thrift store. he often quotes the show, so i thought he'd get a kick out of it. he and tashi are watching right now as tristan naps. tashi and i also picked up george harrison: living in the material world for him. we are all enjoying flipping through it.

and then there are the mic stands that arrived in a big long box. he and tristan had a lot of fun with them this morning.

it's pretty sweet watching a father and son jam.
