This Wednesday was Jon's 23rd birthday! He had gotten his birthday present a few days early because he went snooping through my desk and found it and begged me to let him go ahead and have it. I felt bad when his birthday came around, though, because I had nothing to give to him. So I had to still surprise him, somehow!
I made up some excuse when he was going to sleep so that I could stay up a little bit later and put balloons outside of the doorway for when he woke up. He really liked it and had quite a bit of fun running through the balloons. :) Definitely something I will be doing for our kids in the future!
Jon's not a big dessert person, but loves chocolate cake. So I made him a triple chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge icing. Can you say yum?! It was delicious. And yes, I know, I should be a professional cake decorator. You don't have to tell me. ;)

And the best part? Travis stayed put so now they'll each have their own birthdays! Yay! :)
First of all, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI don't like when the whole "finding the present before the birthday" happens. Mostly because I feel bad for not having something to give that person on their birthday.It just doesn't feel like a birthday without even the smallest of surprises,right?
And the cake looks so yummy! Save the fancy cakes for big elaborate parties. For me, a home made cake is the perfect way to celebrate one's birthday in a cozy, at home , environment.
