Although the Vikings let us down last Sunday (Saints didn't deserve the win), we still had cause to celebrate! Ash and Raeg worked hard planning Brad's birthday. The day before, while Brad and I were on a long walk, they baked a moist french vanilla cake with milk chocolate frosting. It was baked, frosted, and hidden by the time we returned home... and it was super delicious! In the morning the girls got up and made Brad a yummy birthday breakfast consisting of biscuits, eggs, sausage, and hash browns.
In the afternoon we took Brad out to dinner and then came home for dessert.
Blowing out the candles.. Brad got a little winded as he had to blow them out a few times. Ash and Raeg picked sparkler candles that had a tendency to relight. (This made up for not having the proper amount. ha) Didn't they do a great job on the cake?! (and all by themselves! I was proud of them) Raeg made sure to decorate the side of the cake with Brad's age so he wouldn't forget how old he's turning. ha!
And what's a party without a silly string war
It was glow in the dark, so we waited till evening. Unfortunately we didn't think about it needing to be exposed to light first in order to glow. Oh well, still made for a fun time and helped relieve some of Brad's anxiety before the game. LOL.
Happy Birthday Brad. We hope you enjoyed your day and felt as special and loved as you are!!
