Happy Birthday Old Man

This is actually the mask we bought Eric for his birthday, but who could resist? A few weeks ago, Nick turned..

(read his fingers) good job!

The night before his birthday, we went to one of our favorite restaurants, La Canela, for some some great Peruvian food and super slow service. We didn't mind though, it was a fun three hours of talk. I was so happy that so many showed; there were fourteen of us. I was so lame at taking pictures, that no one looks good and I didn't even get the other half of the table whereby sat Eric, Anjie, Johnny and Kelley.

No matter though, since I got Jon and Jayne and they're all Nick cares about anyway.

Oh, and Eric being shy.

I ordered a tres leches cake that was really yummy and Nick got a few minutes of undivided attention.

The next morning the two littluns did an impromptu breakfast in bed. It was a hearty meal but he pounded it. Good job Daddy--way to play the game! I give this photo a web-life of about 24 hours. Once he sees what I have to look at in the morning it'll be.... poof! (settle down Nick you look adorable)

For dinner, Mary and Chief came over for a fine meal of crock pot roast, mooshed potatoes and carrots and a really nasty Whole Foods cake. I did my best working with what I had--which wasn't much!

This kid's everywhere!

Make a wish old man!
You don't look a day over 42.

First to post!!! So sad to miss any dinner that honors Nick, boy, I sound like J.R.

Nick's a fine specimen with or without his make-up on. Cute little kids makin' Nicolai breakfast in bed. And for him to eat it was kindness itself.

Great post for a fine fellow who I love! Happy Birthday Nicholas Christopher Markoff!!

Does he ever scare you with those masks? I think I would be a really easy target -- since I get scared so easily...

A Whole Foods Cake? That kinda makes me sick just reading it.. haha

I have never met your other 1/2.. but I must say.. he MUST be amazing.. because he is married to YOU... and he let's you decorate in what YOU love and is such a HANDY guy!!!
