Happy Birthday, Dad!

Birthday cake made by Mason
Richard's birthday falls on Mother's Day this year, so instead of both of us scrambling around buying gifts neither of us need or want, we decided to forego gifts.  Honestly, I hate that his birthday falls on Mother's Day.  He has been beyond amazing this past year and he deserves a day all to himself to be celebrated.

Mason and I decided to make him a chocolate (cheese) cake.  Mase refuses to eat anything with the word cheese in it (who's kid is this??), so we are calling it a chocolate cake.  In fact, it's a triple chocolate cheese cake.  Shhh! Just don't tell Mason.  

My little helper doing some quality control.
Counting out the cookies for the crust very carefully.
More quality control.
We ended up with cocoa powder everywhere!
So proud of himself!
