Cody's 24th Birthday

Cody and I celebrated a low-key 24th this weekend. We thought about taking a drive down the Kenai, but opted for not, since the weather wasn't great and we were both a little drained.
Someone was kind enough to get a few of his favorite beers after a long day of work on Saturday

That same someone was mean enough to capture how he rang in his 24th birthday...sleep on the living room floor, glasses still on

For Cody's first Alaskan birthday, we made homemade bear claws, after which we discovered my strong aversion to almond extract

Ready to open his loot

From his parents

From his soon to be in-laws

Immediately had to discover all the tools

I told Cody if he cleaned the bread machine, we'd see if it still had what it takes....

The finished product: homemade honey wheat bread (My grandma sent this bread machine with us on a trip back east some years ago, and it's been sitting in the basement at home. My mother was elated when I finally took it with me.) Cody doesn't think we should ever buy a loaf of bread again...
Cody and the homemade banana cream pie he requested: turned out to be delicious: custard was just the right consistency, with delicious banana flavor, and LOTS of whipped cream (sound advice from my sister, Erin)

Later Caillat decided to try out a basket we'd set aside for the wedding... she camped out there for a solid 10 minutes
