Joseph and I surprised my mom by coming home to Florida for her birthday.
We made her a celebratory breakfast: banana chocolate pancakes, lox, Greek yogurt with maple syrup, and fruit salad.
As usual, Joe did most of the cooking.
Kimberley came home too.
I got into the Florida spirit.
So did Joe.
For dessert, we baked my mom's favorite, a carrot cake.
We initiated Joe with a game of Scrabble.
I slaughtered everyone.
Joe's first trip to my home wouldn't have been complete without the old tourist burn.
