My dad got into town Saturday afternoon. We went to church, then out to dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant afterwards. We came back home to have cake.
Craig baked me a delicious Devil's food cake with buttercream frosting. The frosting didn't cooperate for him and I felt so bad for asking him to even attempt it, but WOW! What it lacked in visual appeal it made up for in taste! It was pretty humid on Saturday and the frosting got a little soupy. But after sitting in the fridge for a few hours it was AWESOME!I got some great presents, too. From Craig, my favorite perfume and from Alex a t-shirt from my favorite team.
I got phone calls, messages, comments and emails from so many of my friends and family. I really felt loved! It was a really special day!
We spent a lazy day with my dad today. We slept in. Spent a lot of time outside enjoying the weather. Took a walk. Grilled out. It was very relaxing. Alex was so sad when he woke up from his nap and Grampa had gone home. He kept saying how much fun he had with Grampa the rest of the day. I just love good times spent with family!

Yummo-o cake! I think birthday cakes always taste better when you don't have to make them yourself.:-) Glad you had a fun weekend.
