Somebody turned 13--and managed to grow 4 inches over the past year.
Magic the Gathering was a theme in the gifts for the year.
This character is... important or something.
Last year we got him roller blades... which he promptly grew out of. Now Ruth is wearing them, and he received another pair for this year's birthday. Hopefully they last more than a year this time.
Dude chose an Ethiopian platter for dinner--as 13-year-olds often do.
Then it was on to birthday cake, which was masterfully crafted by his sister.
Nailed it!
With the birthday over, it was on to ordinary 13-year-old things like mowing grass.
And planning for an evening of games with friends.
