Some of you will note that I did not mention Caedmon's 4th birthday in yesterday's post. Since it was a travel day, we opted to celebrate Caedmon's birthday today instead of Tuesday. He seems none the worse for wear for this choice, thankfully!
We opted to go with a Mexican theme for dinner, since it's also Cinco de Mayo. We had some great beef & chicken fajita makings. The beef was marinated in whiskey, salt, and pepper. The chicken was marinated primarily in cumin, garlic, salt, and rosemary. Both turned out pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. This was augmented by Gena's homemade beans, my homemade guacamole, my homemade margaritas (for the big folks only), tortillas, chips, cheese and yum.
Afterwards, Caedmon enjoyed an ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery, since Gena and I didn't have time to put together one of our traditional birthday cakes. Afterwards it was presents and then time for bed. Caedmon seemed happy, though it was surprising to see our little ham somewhat shy as the center of attention for a change. He was particularly ornery about not talking on the phone to the friends & family that called to wish him happy birthday. Perhaps he takes after his father after all. Hmmm...
Well Happy Birthday a day late from the Camarillo folk!
