Happy Birthday to my Daddy!!
Today is my Dad's birthday! He spent the day at work, while Mommy, Sullivan, and I played at home and ran a few errands, preparing for our little celebration of Dad tonight. My Daddy has a special service at church that he's been planning coming up on Sunday night, so he had a rehearsal for that tonight. So, we had a few hours in between work and rehearsal to celebrate!
When asked what he wanted for his birthday dinner, Dad told Mommy "surprise me". You see, Dad doesn't really care anything about actual food - he just wants the sweet stuff that comes after the meal. He basically eats to survive. He'd live on dessert if he could. Mommy tried to think up something that Daddy enjoys eating, and bbq chicken pizza came to mind. Dad always likes that, so bbq chicken pizza it was! It was a good choice, and we all enjoyed it.
Next came the cake part. Saturday night we're getting together with a few friends, and Mommy's going to make Daddy's favorite dessert to bring with us, so tonight she just picked up a little something at the store for his actual birthday. It turned out to be really good. Chocolate cake, cream filled, with whip cream on top and drizzles of chocolate fudge. Yummy!! I loved it and kept asking for more. We only had 1 big piece to share between the 3 of us - yes, Daddy was sweet to share. And, he let me help him blow out his candles.
We got Daddy a special Starbucks coffee mug. He already has a few, but really, can anyone ever have too many coffee mugs? And while we were there, Mommy got an Espresso Truffle drink (a seasonal Starbucks drink... a mix between hot chocolate and espresso) - she said it was very yummy and highly recommends it. I wouldn't know. I did, however, have lots of fun looking at some little stuffed reindeer animals and mini-travel mugs while Mommy was buying our stuff! 
Happy Birthday Daddy!!! Sullivan and I are the luckiest kids in the world to have you for our Dad. We love you!!
