In all fairness, Calvin's birthday party is ALWAYS belated, but this year it was even more belated than usual with my Guatemala trip and work schedule. But better late than never, right? Typically the party is the 1st or 2nd weekend in January, and this year we snuck it in the final week of the month. We thought it would be fun to do his party during the Chiefs/Bengals AFC Championship game. This is the 4th straight year the Chiefs have hosted this game, and we're pretty proud of our boys. So in attendance we had a couple of Patrick Mahomes, a Tyreek Hill, and a Travis Kelce. We were well-represented, I'd say. We had some delicious smoked pulled pork and lots of game-day favorites to eat.
Calvin has had Chiefs-themed birthday cakes A LOT, and he assumed that's what he would get this year also. I told him that this would be one of the most unique birthday cakes he's ever had, nothing generic like another Chiefs cake. . . This year he got a Roonie cake! Every 16-year-old should have a car on their cake, right? And what's better than having a picture of your actual car? Especially when you have one as cool as Roonie! (For those of you who don't remember what Calvin's car looks like, I've included a picture from my post last spring.)
I'm not going to say he loved the cake, but it made him chuckle a little anyway.
Singing to the birthday boy so we could all have some dessert.
And he opened his gifts at halftime. He did just fine with a few gift cards and a new big-boy life jacket.

So the Chiefs showed that a 21-3 lead wasn't safe as the game went into overtime for the 2nd week in a row. Unfortunately this one didn't have the same happy ending for Chiefs fans and the Bengals managed to put a dark cloud over Calvin's 16th birthday for the second time in a month. Oh well, it was still a great afternoon celebrating our boy, and there's always next year!
