Ryan's birthday was on a Tuesday this year. Kherington and I made breakfast in bed for him (we had to send him back to bed though). Aside from that, we decided to celebrate on Friday instead because Tuesday night he plays basketball.
For dinner he requested bacon hamburgers (tough guy to please...well, come to think of it I did burn the first half of the bacon). The kids helped me do a quick decorating job. Kherington is pretty good at the noise makes, but Kevin, uh, not so much. I think he tore apart 3 of them. He would see Kherington blow on hers and it would make noise and blow out. So he'd try to do the same, but didn't get any noise and it would blow out. So instead he'd pull at the bottom to make it straight...pull too hard and it breaks :). They also really enjoy the balloon sticks (kinda like swords). Anyways, back to Ryan.
For dessert we had a failed attempt at a marshmallow fluff shake. I couldn't get the cream to set up into stiff peaks and we only have a food processor (no blender). They looked nothing like the picture online, but they tasted decent...until they got knocked onto the floor. Kids. It'll be a good day when we're back in the land of blizzards.
After our failed attempt at dessert, we broke out the stuff to make Caramel Apple Spice (we bought the syrup from at Starbucks). Well, I didn't realize how low I was on spray cream. Yet another fail. The rest of the drink tasted good though.
Even with all the failed attempts we had a fun time celebrating. Ryan is an awesome daddy (and probably Kherington's favorite person on this planet). He always takes time to roughhouse with the kids, read them stories and jump on the trampoline PLUS he does tons of household chores. He's a keeper :).
