It’s my brother Michael’s birthday! Happy Birthday Michael!!!
He requested ribs for his birthday dinner and Ben was in charge of ordering. He made sure to get me an extra big salad to go along with all the other food we had. We did family style and I got some of everything.
Ben is nice to me. I really have no idea why.
Michael requested cheesecake for his birthday and since I’ve never made a real one, I decided not to take the chance and screw it up. I bought one and wrote on it. Maybe it’s not homemade, but everyone loved it just the same.
Michael takes the first bite out of his cake every year. Sometimes he takes a bite out of my cake too. That’s a brother for ya.
After everyone was served,I had my piece…
Shockingly, cheesecake is the one dessert I could take or leave. I stole a bite of Ben’s, but had a brownie with ice cream instead.
I am obsessed with Heather’s cat, Romeo. He is twice the size of Vegas and so pretty.
Normally he’s really nice to me, but today he just isn’t that into me
Heather tried to show me how to hold him, but he wasn’t having it. I have 3 cuts from that motherfcker now.
After cheesecake and presents we hit the pinata. Heather got Michael a tiny pinata for fun.
Good thing he already had a tiny bat to hit it with.
You don’t want to know what happened after this picture. Let’s just say I don’t have cat-like reflexes and may now have a broken nose.
Happy Birthday nose breaker. Happy birthday.(someecards.com)

Cheesecake is something that is awful if it’s not good, but heavenly if it’s made right. Mmm creamy goodness 🙂

See, I’m the opposite of you and apparently most people commenting – I LOVE cheesecake and couldn’t care less about cake unless I am just looking for a sugar high and there is some around. Best cheesecake ever: key lime with white chocolate ganache. Oh yes.

I hope your nose is okay!!

Happy Birthday to Michael! I <3 cheesecake but never have it anymore, I'm kinda okay with that. Maybe I don't <3 it so much anymore?
Romeo is very handsome!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
I feel the same way about cheesecake. Give. me. chocolate.
Hannah (Culture Connoisseur) says
Aw, that cat is such a chunker. But I’ve found the bigger the body the bigger the attitude. My point stands. 🙂
Glad you had a fun weekend celebrating your brother!
katie says
I am not a cheesecake fan either, never have been!
Love the photo though of you looking like your going to dominate the cake, lol! I like your dessert better for sure ; )
Happy birthday to your brother too!
Lauren says
I had no idea you had an older brother! What other secrets are you keeping. LoL. Looks like a fun party. Your family seems like a blast. 🙂

Haha, it’s awesome that he had a tiny bat already.
One year, we teased one of the girls that she wasn’t getting a real cake….she was getting a cheesecake instead (which she doesn’t really like, but especially not for her birthday party). This went on for a few weeks and when it came right down to the day, my mom made her a cake shaped like a wedge of cheese with adorable little mice on it. She LOVED it and it was hilarious to see her face when she saw that she really did get a “cheese”cake…sorta.
I just went searching for the link on my site to show you and realized it’s not posted. Holy cow. Must go find the pictures now.

Cheesecake is the one dessert I can never leave. Opposite of you! I LOVE IT!
Amanda says
I can’t stand cheesecake either–it’s too dense. I LOVE cream cheese frosting, though.

Is it weird that I hate cheesecake? But I love normal cake…
