What he actually got...
reacting to his main gift:
A hard cello case in a very stylin metallic orange color. Grandma Susan & Grandpa Fred made a downpayment on it when they were here at Christmas time, and we've been making payments on it since.Monogrammed seal and wax from Mom & Dad.
Also a bike tune-up, two t-shirts, and several kinds of chocolate.
A Target gift card from Jill.
An iTunes gift card from Aunt Michelle & Co.
A Borders gift card from Gr. Susan & Gr. Fred.
cool sheets from Jessie & Co.:
He loves them! He put them on his bed right away.Chocolate from Lucas and Eva.
Chocolate and CDs from Grandma Mim & Grandpa Bob.
He registered one of his computer games with money from Grandpa Lou.
Wii Points from lifelong friend/cousin Andrew.
This book from friend Nathan (he was so excited).
For his party with friends, he requested an ice cream cake from Cold Stone (peanut butter/chocolate). It was pretty good, but...
For the family party, Max requested this cake. I think it turned out delightfully well this time! A seriously delicious cake. A cake to convert people who don't love cake. (Of course, all the glory on this one goes to my grandma, who gave me the recipe.)
And fish for dinner.
I think he had a pretty great birthday!

I hope my sons are this sophisticated when they are 14 years old.
I think boys like your son help others to see how it is possible that a young 14 year old boy (i.e. Joseph Smith) could have been wise enough and spiritual enough to do what he did.
Happy BIrthday to Max. :)
Wow, what a great birthday for Max! He scored some seriously great gifts and amazing cakes! That cello case is awesome!
That sounds like a perfectly wonderful birthday! I'm glad to see the documentation of everything and happy that the gift was a success!
But, he is looking entirely too old...
wow...he seems to be an amazingly mature 14 year old! that cello case is rocking.
Great birthday haul! What a cutie! I love that he wanted chocolate. That just cracks me up. Do you think that's genetic or simply a learned passion?
You know, I just don't get ice cream cakes. Not at all. They are my least favorite cake in the world. I'll take a nice piece of made from scratch cake always! Thanks for posting the recipe on your other blog. I think I'll make it for myself for my birthday! I know, I know, but when you have a husband with a broken leg, that's just the reality!
Wow, that case looks expensive! I am sure he was happy with everything he got. It's so impressive that he asked for a mortar and pestle. I want a good one too! I love those sheets. The cake looks amazing. Hope it was a good one Max. Happy Bday!
Killer bunnies, ha! "They've got fangs!"
(and who doesn't love cake? Seriously.)
