It’s Nate’s birthday!
(This is the best picture he would let me take of him)
Gavin and I, and the twins, went to pick up a cake today as a surprise (I even paid in cash so he wouldn’t know I had bought one). We hadn’t ordered one so we went to see what they had – adults just have to like what they get, only the kids get a special order. There were only two cakes that were the flavors that Nate likes, a 1/4-sheet princess cake or a 1/8-sheet bright blue cake……we went with the blue one.
We had a babysitter come over so we could go out to dinner. I fed the kids dinner before we left and Solvei and Nels were just finishing up when the doorbell rang.
We went out to the Iron Chef steakhouse again, since it’s the best place that is also close (we don’t want the babysitter over too late because she has a curfew too). We finished dinner right at the kids’ bedtime so we told the babysitter to let them stay up so they could have birthday cake.
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!
The trouble with blue frosting….it makes everything blue – lips, tongue, teeth, fingers, and is pretty resistant to toothpaste.

I loved seeing what Lynn's 1st birthday cake (cookie monster) did to her. I was quite frightened when I went to change her diaper the next day. Blue does some fun stuff!
