My Dear Husband turned 34

It was my husband's birthday on Monday, while we were on our little getaway. I forgot to take balloons candles and even a card with. Big OOPS!! He didn't seem to mind but when I got back my mom said "Husbands are like little children and like to be made to feel special and celebrated" so we decorated the house (the kids absolutely love doing this) and I went out to buy an ice cream cake. (hmm... wonder how much that cake decorating class is going to be put to use... it just took too much energy and I was just not feeling up to it, and I know he prefers ice cream cake any ways)
yum, yum let's cut this cake (why the picture of a whale...it's a big fish because that is what Daddy likes to catch.)
Everyone had to get in on the excitement of blowing out the candles. I absolutely love kids and birthdays. They catch the excitement and happiness, and it really is all those things. Another year, what a blessing, something never to be taken for granted.
