Best Cake Ever!!!

Yesterday was my 26th birthday. Whoo hoo! After a good day of working it was time to go celebrate. My sister Liz offered to watch Nate so Robert and I could go to dinner. We decided on Carino's. I love that place, but I have to admit I wanted to go some place different. A place I'd never been before, but there really aren't a ton of options in the Nampa/Boise area. Everything here is pretty much chain resturaunts. Despite that, we still had an excellent dinner.


So, Robert waited until the afternoon of my birthday to worry about the cake. I told him I wanted a Dairy Queen ice cream cake because I knew that would be easier on him than making me a cake himself. He said that this cake was all they had left...

All I could do was laugh. It's pretty typical of Robert to just punt when things don't work out just right. I would stress out and go looking for the perfect cake but Robert, nah, he just gets what he can. I don't think I'll let him live this one down for awhile. I'm mean nothing says Happy December Birthday like an ice cream cake with pumpkins and a turkey.

The cake was so yummy, though. I love the fudge and cookie crumbs. You have to eat the vanilla ice cream layer first, then the chocolate ice cream layer, and finally the fudge and cookies last. Delicious!
Nate helped me blow out my candles. There weren't nearly 26, but it was close. I think they were just trying to make it easier on my weak lungs. :)

We wore little Nate out. He was so tired he was begging for us to go home. He didn't even eat any of the cake. Which, I'm telling you, is historic. I do love when he gets tired like that though because it's the only time I can get my Energizer Bunny to cuddle with me.

I just love a simple birthday spent in good company, and of course, good food! I had a great birthday and I am so thankful for all the Happy Birthday wishes from friends and family. Thanks, guys.
