This year was a little crazy, with Ryan's birthday being just 3 days before the Spring Festival that I'm in charge of. I know that Ryan was okay to not celebrate until after the Festival, but I had to do SOMETHING for him on his real birthday.
Since there was Pack Meeting the night of his birthday, I decided to skip a regular cake and instead celebrate at breakfast time with a quiche-type cake. I of course came up with this idea at 11:00 the night before, and I started to get discouraged while looking through recipes. Most called for cottage cheese or cream or other ingredients I didn't have on hand. But I was lucky enough to find a recipe that uses Bisquick, and so all was well!
I think Ryan was surprised to see a breakfast cake when he came downstairs that morning. And the boys thought it was pretty cool, too. We did learn not to stick candles in a warm quiche -- all the wax melts off the bottom of the candles!
Ryan had some presents to open when he and the boys got home from pack meeting -- a new battery and some new grilling items.

We celebrated the Saturday after his birthday by going on a date. He took me to his favorite type of restaurant -- Thai food. I had never been before, and I enjoyed my first tastes of Thai! We also went "window shopping" for couches and entertainment centers for our soon-to-be-finished basement.
