Andrew's Birthday/Valentine's Day

Andrew's birthday is also Valentine's day. He always tries to do something for me but I don't really care that much about Valentine's day. I try to make it more about his birthday than Valentine's day. Andrew picked Sheppard's Pie for his birthday dinner. We found an awesome recipe in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook but instead of using lamb we use pork butt roast, which is from the shoulder not the rump, and it is delicious!!! I got two giant cupcakes for Andrew's birthday cake and put candles on one of them.

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Happy Birthday to you!!

Happy Birthday dear Andrew!!!

Happy Birthday to you!!!

I got him a gun case for his birthday. It hasn't come yet but he's really excited about it.

Andrew built a planter and planted strawberries and marigolds (to keep the crickets away) in it. That was my Valentine's day gift. I am super excited to have strawberries in our garden. Hurray for growing our own food!!!
