Daddy's Birthday

Yesterday was Nick's birthday...29, what an old man! Nick had to work for a few hours yesterday so while he was at work the kids got ready for Daddy's birthday. They both made him birthday cards, although Jax helped Ella a little bit with her card for Daddy. Jax even cleaned up his playroom so that it would be nice and clean for when Daddy came home. Jaxson and I made a birthday cake too, he helped me stir the batter in the bowl and while it was in the oven, he made sure he asked me AT LEAST every minute if the cake was done or not...he said that he had been waiting 30 hundred hours for the cake to bake and he was sick of waiting. When the cake finally came out of the oven, he had to wait another 30 hundred hours for it to cool down so that we could decorate it. When I told him that the cake had cooled enough for us to start decorating it he said FINALLY MOM! Jax and I wrote on the cake with red and green frosting, red is Daddy's favorite color and green is Jaxson's favorite color. Then Jax helped me put all of the candles in the cake, he was very proud of the cake that he made. Everytime I turned my back he would stick his finger in the frosting, the he would tell me to check on the cake and make sure that the frosting was ok. When Daddy got home from work the kids gave him a shirt and the special cards that they had made, then we lit the candles, I'm surprised the smoke alarm didn't go off...29 candles is a lot! Later that night Nick and I went and had some yummy sushi, JUST THE TWO OF US!!! It was so nice for us to be able to actually go out to dinner and be able to carry on an adult conversation....thanks to Dani and Derek for watching the munchkins!
