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 |
