" Happy Birthday Daddy"

Tuesday was Jeffs birthday, we don't usually do anything too big for our birthdays, dinner, cards, whatever. Well Let me first tell you that Bentleigh LOVES birthdays, it doesn't matter who's birthday it is, she just likes to sing! So of course she sang to Jeff on Tuesday. Wednesday we woke up and from the get go she was talking about birthday cake for her daddy. I have the most persistent two year old ever! Not sure where she gets that from :) any way...I got the girls ready for the day, we went to lunch with my sister and my nieces, and then to the store to get this cake that she had been talking about all day. I figured we would just grab one of the little dinky cakes that they had sitting out and ask the nice lady to write happy birthday on it and be on our way. As we walk in the store, she spots a balloon, and freaks out. She has to get the balloon to go with the cake. SO now that she has the balloon in hand, we make our way to the bakery...and she start looking through all the cakes they have set out. After quite the deliberation, she picks the cake, the lady lets her pick the color of frosting and asks her what she should write on it. Bentleigh tells her " Happy Birthday Daddy" the lady looked at me like I was crazy! I told her to do what the two year old told her to do so we could get out of there! This is what we ended up with....

She was so proud of that cake! It was too cute!

After a few hours of PATIENTLY waiting, Jeff finally got home from work and Bentleigh greeted him with his balloon

Then Jeff caught a glance at his wonderful cake

Of course Bentleigh had to blow out the candles, after we sang again! She finished up with a big birthday hug, and then it was almost time for cake....

I had this great idea to take Luhndyns picture with the cake before we cut into it. I know I know, what was I thinking. Notice the hot pink ball of fluff smashed in between her fingers

in case you missed that let me give you a close up :(

And of course the classic " I didn't do it, I have no idea where the hot pink frosting came from that is all over my white dress" look.

So while we cleaned Luhndyn up...someone else decided it would be a great idea to color with that hot pink frosting

Never a dull moment at our house :)
