Birthday Celebration

We met Kevin after work at Red Robin-Kevin had is free birthday burger coupon so we could not let this deal pass by- Ella remembered going there for her birthday and the Red Robin bird happened to be there that night so she was really hoping he could show up again, and much to her delight he did! Oh I wish I had brought my camera. She was thrilled to say the least. Roc had a great time entertaining people with his loud cooing and his cute hair. (now this has nothing to do with the birthday, but his hair is finally starting to grow and it is so soft and fuzzy, I love rubbing my face on it, and he must love it too as he will rub it up against my face-I treasure these moments as I know they won't last long). On the way into RR Ella sang Happy Birthday Daddy-o to him.
During the day Ella helped me make a cake. Whenever we bake her job is to look at the box and tell me how many eggs we need and then she helped me put in the other ingredients too. She did a great job. (When we were talking about the cake making on the way to RR ((as I was telling her not to tell Daddy so it would be a surprise when we got home)) I reminded her of what she did to help me and she said oh yeah mommy we were like a team. I thought that was cute.) Then she had the job of decorating it and putting the candles in. Then she decorated a card for him and I wrote on it what she told me too. It really was quite sweet. She was so excited to give him the card and blow out candles with him when we got home. I love how excited she gets about these things. When she was decorating the card she found a picture of Kevin and me before we were married so somehow she got the idea that this would be a surprise for him too, so she got it in a box to give to him :) Roc was just thrilled to look on and eat his cake.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment :)
