Birthday Festivities - A Day in Review

6:00 am - Colin left for work, I slept ( Note: I had every intention of waking up before Colin at 5am to decorate and make him breakfast before he left for work but I didn't even hear my alarm clock go off, oops)
1:00 pm - Colin's work ordered lunch for him
1:30 pm - Colin came home to a decorated house, with all of his presents wrapped and placed on the mantel, hung out with Spencer, watched t.v and took a long nap
6:00 pm - went to Park City for dinner at an Italian restaurant called Ciesero's. It was really good, Colin got lasanga, and I got seafood fettucince (the noodles were made out of seaweed and they were tasty)
8:30 pm - came home, got the melting cakes ready, lit the candles*, sang happy birthday, made Colin wear a birthday hat (he is such a good sport), opened presents
10:30 pm -went to bed

*Last year we went on a cruise and Colin ordered the melting cake every night for dessert. I thought it would be fun to make it for him on his birthday. Although it was delicious it wasn't ideal for sticking 25 trick candles in it. However I was determined to get those candles lit and sing him happy birthday before he blew them out or else his birthday was not complete. It is pretty funny, and we got most of it on video!

Melting Cake: Delicious Disaster





Luckily I made 4, so he got to eat one that wasn't destroyed by candle wax
Presents!!!
With wrapping paper and empty boxes all over the floor, his birthday was a success!

That video was so funny. It great when things turn out the way you want but having the candles fold over like that is way more memorable.

Mandy, I didn't know you had a love for Twilight! :) Christina just started reading the books and is in love with Edward. The other day she said, "I know that he is real!" She's hilarious! We are still excited to see you guys. We will have to plan it once it gets a little closer. Love ya!
