the morning after.

so...the birthday party went well. really well. i was a nervous wreck and am considering going in yet again for something medical to help me through strenuous social situations.

but, really, we couldn't ask for a better day. i made dennis his first cake, which was delicious and looked like it had been decorated by a 3rd grader. nice, right? dennis thought it was beautiful - or at least that's what he said. 

all of his buddies came over and roasted s'mores and ate candy and chick-fil-a nuggets (because gourmet cooking would be wasted on teenagers, right?) i didn't order in to be lazy, i promise. i did make frozen waffle fries because chick-fil-a doesn't sell those on a platter. one little guy stayed over, and here's what the morning after looked like. Notice we're all in PJs and D has a giant mug o' coffee (and so do i). that's a birthday napkin in my hand, because the party's not really over until the party supplies are gone.
