October 12 is my mom's birthday. On October 16 we had dinner to celebrate and had what will probably be the last BBQ of the year. I made apple crisp for the first time with the recipe that mom uses, and although she makes the BEST apple crisp, mine wasn't too bad! Matt and Dawn brought a beautiful and yummy chocolate cake, along with a funny story about going to pick it up and being handed the ugliest cake EVER! Dawn had to ask for a redo. It was a nice, quiet birthday, just a chance to try and let Momma know how much we love and appreciate her.
