Happy 30th Steve!

For Steve's 30th B-Day, I decided to make the day special and enjoy the afternoon baking a cake with Hayden while Evan napped. It is his favorite white cake and white icing (only of course the homemade icing with the recipe used by his Mommy growing up.) Hayden enjoyed having the "batter licking" all to himself. This is something he would typically have to fight for when Daddy is around.
Hayden decided that the perfect cake decor would be the cars from his favorite "Cars" movie. He said "Daddy will be so excited" about his cake. He also told Aunt La La (Lauren) all about his cake making adventure. We topped it off with some orange gel pen with a special message and attempt at the University of Texas Bevo in the lower left hand corner of the cake. It was probably the most beautiful cake my son had ever laid eyes on. Anyhow- it still tasted great and Daddy enjoyed it very much.
I surprised Steve with a custom panoramic picture of when Texas won the National Championship and had his ticket enclosed. (I had to get sneaky and go up to his work and switch out his ticket with his sister's in hopes that he would not notice the difference while it was getting made.) He fortunately did not and he loved it. Happy Birthday, Steve (Daddy)! We love you very much!
