happy birthday hunny!

Last Friday was my hubby's 34th birthday! I wanted to try and hop on the computer to create a birthday post for him but time just simply got away from me. Ben had to work so we planned to head over to my MIL's house when he got home to meet for dinner and dessert.

I spent the afternoon making his cake and had a fun time doing it! I made a two layer cake with one layer being yellow cake and the other dark chocolate. I made my normal butter cream frosting and then decided to decorate it with some fondant cutouts. I purchased some itty bitty letter cookie cutters at Michaels along with some colored fondant and cut out 'Happy 34th Birthday Ben'. I used my larger number cookie cutters for the '34' and at first I wasn't too happy with my final result. When Ben had a look he said he loved it and it reminded him of those letter magnets on the fridge. Then after looking at it a bit I decided I did like it but some of those letters were just so hard to get out of the cutters! I'll have to practice them a bit!



We met at my MIL's as I mentioned before at around 5:30-6:00 and had dinner at Macaroni Grill. Afterwards we headed back to the house and had cake and Ben opened his presents.



The birthday boy got the chance to light his own candles and Evan had a fun time taking a look!



Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake and Ben had a great time! We played some games on the Wii and finally headed home around midnight or so.



Happy 34th Birthday hunny! I'm so glad we got to spend your birthday evening together! I had a lot of fun and I pray you have a wonderful year ahead! I love you!
