Porto's

So, my son had a happy birthday! I found these pics on my daughter's camera when I was posting the farm pictures. I just wanted to add a few in honor of the best 13 year old boy a mom could wish for.

I'm so thankful for all three of my kids. They are truly AWESOME. They inspire me and lift me up each and every day. Since Thanksgiving is almost here, I'd like to say how thankful I am for such a wonderful and loving family.

My oldest is an "almost" junior at SMU. He is a computer science engineering major. My daughter can do anything! She is a senior in high school. And my youngest, the baby thirteen year old, is just too cool for words.

But I have to talk about Porto's. My sister brought this cake to us all the way from Burbank because she LOVES Porto's so much. The cake made the trip in an ice chest. The cake only had to travel to Sedona, AZ and not all the way to Texas, so it was not so long a trip for the delectable treat to travel. Anyway, last week at my nephew's fund raiser in Burbank they were auctioning off a trip to Porto's and lunch for 6. So, Uncle Archie bid on it and won! Off they went to Porto's for the behind the scenes tour of how all of the yummy food and cakes are made. The Porto's daughter who helps runs things told all about the family and how they came to America from Cuba to start this bakery. It was very interesting according to my sister. She said it was like being on an episode of "Unwrapped" which is one of our favorite food network shows. I'm JEAL-OUS! Ha.

Hence, the photos of Alex and his awesome cake. Here's to Porto's!
