William's birthday fell during finals week this year, so we saved the pool party and family visit until the weekend. As is tradition, Rosie was here for his birthday, so both she and Lucy signed his card and I drove to pick up donuts. It's hard to buy for a 15 year old who asked his uncle for the one thing he really wanted (air pods), so I got him a box of 15 different things: mostly foods from World Market! It all must have been pretty good because he didn't offer to share much of it! John got him the cologne he ask for. I don't remember what it's called but it smells great. My better than the Drakkar Noir of my youth.
For birthday weekend, I was very excited to bake and decorate a volleyball cake. It was my first time to decorate with frosting tips and I thought it was a good effort. I was particularly proud of getting the buttercream frosting pure white. Thanks internet for that tip about the violet gel food coloring! And my mom brought her famous rice krispy treats. So we were ready!
