Birthday All Day Long

To celebrate Rob's birthday today we've had an extremely sugary day! (P.S. I can't believe how much bigger the kids are compared to last year.)

We started off with donuts with candles.
And presents at breakfast.

We went out for lunch and during naptime I decorated the cake, presenting, the SPACE SHUTTLE CAKE!


I copied a Family Fun cake only theirs was white with blue and red M&Ms, but our traditional Rob birthday cake is a yellow cake with chocolate icing, so I changed it up a bit. Caleb and I also made mint chocolate chip ice cream with his ice cream maker.

3...2...1...lift off!

We invited one family to join us for cake - we wanted to have more people to help eat the cake up and they are good friends too. They have 3 kids so just having them over is a big party! Caleb had so much fun, he loves crowds!

Happy Birthday Robbie! I love you!

  6. I subscribe to your blog and Lori's blog through bloglines (even though I don't know her, I just think Lori makes the neatest posts) and so I know when you guys update. Well, the other day, I went to your blog first and then I went to Lori's blog. Then I thought, "Wow! What are the odds? Two of the blogs I read BOTH celebrated their husbands birthdays on the SAME day!?" And then it dawned on me! Oh yeah, you guys marred twins! (Sometimes I even forget that you guys are sisters-in-law.) Anyway, I just thought I'd share my "duh" moment with you!
