Happy Birthday!

Steve and I have shared 13 of his 31 birthdays together, although we were apart for many of those. It is amazing to celebrate together, after all of these years, with our two children. Happy Birthday, Steve! We love you.

For our 1st anniversary, I made a lovely, homemade lemonade layer cake. Our anniversary is less than a month before Steve's birthday, and he started asking almost immediately for a "regular" yellow birthday cake. From a box. I guess my efforts were wasted on him. :)



Here's Steve's requisite yellow cake from a box with chocolate frosting. Guess who asked all day long when we would eat the cake? Guess who ate the most cake of any of us? Here's a hint: her name starts with "C." And yes, Clarks, there was ice cream, too.

So the very best part of my birthday?...listening to Caroline over the monitor tonight singing herself to sleep with "happy birthday to daddy" :)

Glad you had a great birthday Steve, AND even had ice cream with that delicious looking cake.

Papa said...

Caroline, glad you enjoyed Daddy's special day, see you soon, and Happy Birthday Steve

Happy Birthday, Stevie! Love your comment :-)

And, Samantha, that Lemondae Layer Cake would not have been wasted on me. . . that's one of my favorite recipes! But, you did quite a nice job jazzing up the box cake!
