Matt celebrated the big 34 yesterday and as always Erin was eager to help out... especially with the frosting. Daddy requested a carrot cake and so I checked out my standby carrot cake recipe. Unfortunately it calls for 4 eggs, so I went looking for a new option. I stumbled upon a great new carrot cake recipe that was nice and simple and turned out very yummy. Plus, anything tastes pretty good when coated in cream cheese frosting.
Matt is on a slightly less demanding rotation this month and was home before dinner to snuggle and play with the girls. Nora's been sick for the last few days and pretty somber, but she's thrilled whenever Matt gets home (despite her poker face in the photos).
Matt and his girls... so should I say Matt and little Matt and Nora.
Erin insisted on doing her Happy Birthday interpretive dance for Daddy.
Erin also picked out the candles for Dad and helped him blow out the candles and open all of his gifts. I was sitting across the table and notice a fine spray of spit when Erin blew, but the cake still tasted good.
Happy birthday Matt.
We are all so lucky to share our lives with you. We are proud of all of your hard work and look forward to what this year holds for us.
