Birthday celebration continues

When Joe got home from school, the birthday festivities continued! He played with his bike outside first (Clara did not think that was exciting enough to wake up for). But the real excitement was after a quick dinner (again, Clara wasn't interested) when it was time to have the "happy birthday cake." This year he knew what was going on and couldn't wait, but he let us sing Happy Birthday, and then Julie helped him blow out the candle. He used his fork at first, but switched to his mitts eventually. Surprisingly though, he quit about two thirds of the way through, pushing away his plate and declaring, "All Done!" He shows more restraint than his parents!
