Golden Holden is 9!

It is Holden's golden birthday (9th b-day on the 9th) today and the boy is awesome! We baked a Rumble Cake (chocolate cookie dough with brownies, walnuts, and dried cherries) together and it turned out very yummy. We also made a nice lunch. We are headed south for the holidays tomorrow, so it was a day of packing, cooking, gaming, and eating. Cliff is taking finals this week and we are going to dodge a winter storm bullet and leave before the storm gets here this weekend.

My birthday was yesterday and it was just nice to be spoiled at home. I went to the chiropractor and Trader Joe's afterward to get a few b-day essentials.  Holden made me dinner, Cliff gave me a sweet card in the morning and he had night class. He bought me new tires for my car and is taking me to see family for the holidays. Yes, I know I am lucky and loved.

Sending everyone lots of love and holiday time cheer.
