Happy Birthday to me!!! For the first time in years I am celebrating my birthday with my parents which is a nice trade off since Kevin had to make his way back to Peoria for the week. Eventhough my dad feels bad that I did it, I worked most of the day to prepare a nice homemade Chinese meal for my birthday party (with my sister's help of course). We made homemade spring rolls, beef and pea pods, orange chicken and fried rice.
We also constructed a 4 layered chocolate cake (used 2 boxes)!!! It was awesome to make and fabulous to have my sister help me make my own cake. She actually bought two cake pans the day before at Kohl's just for the occasion (plus her hubby's b-day was in a couple of weeks).
My grandma Lynn, Aunt Barb, mom, dad, sister Crystal, brother-in-law Heath, nephew Bo, and my kiddos joined me for my birthday party that night and it was wonderful. We had loads of great food and the cake was phenomenal. Addison helped me blow out my candles and no we didn't load it up with 32 candles.
Look at those layers!!!
My dad pulled out 4 different tubs of ice cream (yes, it was insane). He let the kids pick out whatever they wanted at the grocery store the night we got picked up from the airport, how silly. Harrison quite liked the Butter Pecan with his chocolate cake. I stuck with vanilla myself. I had a most wonderful birthday with my family but missed having my hubby there...first birthday we hadn't been together in almost 12 years.
