Tristan's Birthday

It seems like every birthday in our family is crammed next to another celebration, which can be fun, but sometimes makes it hard to fit it all in with Tristan's work schedule.  So it was with Tristan's birthday.  His birthday is in June, but with Father's Day being right before he left for work and 4th of July being right after he arrived back we delayed celebrating it.  But we found time and enjoyed celebrating him.  I tried a new Asian inspired recipe (Cashew Chicken) because he loves Asian flavors.  This was his response when I told him to actually smile in the picture...I think that's what you call overcompensating.  ;)

So then, of course, the boys wanted their picture with their food as well.  Ethan did a pretty good impersonation!

We kept it simple for a birthday cake this year.  Ashton wasn't sure what to think about the candles.  He's looking a little somber in these pictures.

Brownie sundaes was a yummy treat and a great way to celebrate his birthday.

We are so grateful to have such a loving man as a husband and a father.  We are blessed to have him!
