Yesterday, we celebrated Dan's birthday! Finley is now old enough to understand what birthdays mean: presents and cake--so we had to make sure we covered those bases.
I baked a cake on Friday and then Finley helped me decorate it during Dagny's morning nap yesterday. Sprinkles on the lower tier.
More sprinkles on the top after we iced on a D. (Phonetically speaking it is convenient that Daddy and Dan both begin with D!)
Poor Dan had to work on his birthday, so after he got home and the kids got up from their naps, it was present time! Dan got some great gifts and cards and then we headed out for a seafood dinner. Our first restaurant choice failed since the wait was too long, but our second choice was just delicious.
All of this pomp and circumstance was a means to an end for Finley, however. As soon as he finished his dinner, he announced to the table next to us that since it was his daddy's birthday, there was a big cake at home. They were kind and shared his enthusiasm for the impending dessert. Dagny had since fallen asleep in her car seat so we rushed home to light candles, sing, and dive into the beautiful, homemade cake before bed.
Happy Birthday, Daddy!
