Kyle's birthday last month

He found Fig Newtons along his treasure hunt (and obviously we like to watch "House"). Unfortunately Kyle's big present, a new guitar, was delayed from the manufacturer so it didn't arrive until last week.

Seventeen candles and a carrot cake with yummy cream cheese frosting. I was a little "boo hoo" because next year he'll be at college for his big 18th birthday and I won't be able to celebrate with him.

And so begins the Burke kid birthday season marathon.
