Seventeen

Erik didn't ask for much for his birthday.
We made a big red velvet cake, and any of his friends who happened to be in the area were invited to come have cake and ice cream with us.
So about half a dozen showed up.
All Erik wanted as a gift was a Rosey Boa (no, not a long string of pink feathers), so later in the week Steve took him to the pet store.
Our house is just the place for exotic animals!
