Today was a much-anticipated day…Turkey turned 13!

We spent the morning at the Missouri Botanical Garden, at his request.

This afternoon, he opened his presents. Not surprisingly, he received a lot of new Lego sets!

Turkey requested a lemon-lime birthday cake, so I made a white cake with a lemon curd filling and a lime whipped cream frosting. I found some fun candles that spelled out “Happy Birthday,” and then I realized that equaled exactly 13 candles…perfect!

This evening, he’s been working on assembling his new Lego sets…this car is really cool, and actually took him a while to build!

It was a great day. Now we just have to get used to the idea of having a teenager in the house!
