Birthday Celebration

It is hard to believe that our first-born is turning 18. He can vote, he can make decisions on his own, and he is considered an adult. It seems it was just yesterday like the cliche says, that he was a brand new little tyke wiggling his legs in a pumpkin infant sleeping bag.
Since his birthday fell on a Tuesday, and we had to get ready for leaving on Wednesday, we celebrated on Sunday.  Even though it was Lukas' celebration, he had to work for his food, home-made sushi rolls. He requested a banana coconut cake for dessert, and I happily complied. Noah made sure there were 18 candles on the cake.  It was an enjoyable evening, although he was not allowed to open his gifts just yet.
