Last Saturday my son turned 12. He has never been a big cake fan so he asked that I make him a triple berry birthday pie instead. Sure! I had plenty of pie crust dough leftover so I made these little cinnamon crisp cookies. They were yummy too. As you can see, I like a rustic casual style with my baked goods.
We allowed our son to buy his own Xbox last year. It took him ages to save up the money but he finally got his dream gaming system and is just like most boys this age.. he is always wanting to play his video games. I understand this complusion as I have been addicted to Mario and Zelda games on our Nintendo.
Before we opened gifts, I took some pictures. Sam was really nervous that he wouldn't get his dream game and the tension is all over his face here when he is trying to smile. He also has trouble holding his pose and holding his eye contact with the camera. Maybe you can't see it, but this face is saying, "I hope this birthday goes exactly as I have imagined it.":
But dreams do come true! He got his dream game and all is well!

Happy birthday Sam.
Enjoy your game but do try and get some fresh air too once in a while.

I do have to limit his game time!
My mom used to make those little "cinnamon rolls" every time she made pies.
Happy Birthday Sam!
Susie, your pie is beautiful. I bet it tastes as good as it looks. You have a fine-looking young man there. I know you are proud. He sounds like a gem.
Birthday pie sounds pretty good to me!

Call of Duty! Right on!!!!
I'd love to see that painting on the wall... just the corner of it looks beautiful.
Thanks for all your birthday wishes to my son!
Sharon-Lizette- I am holding that gorgeous painting for a close friend. Her mother is a talented fine artist and occasionally clears out her studio in a fit of wanting to start fresh. My friends made space for their new baby and loaned the painting to me to display indefinitely. They have several others of their own on other lovely, dynamic colorways. A better photo of the painting is here:

My friends wish that the name of the artist remains anonymous for the time being. ;-)
Your pie looks beautiful. I have a couple of recipes you might like on my blog!
