Eric turned 32 on Thursday. I can't believe we are "in" our 30's. I can't believe we were ever 17 and dating. Where has the time gone? What happened to my hips? Okay, so this shouldn't be about me and my aging phobia, so let's move on to what we did on Eric's big day.
Eric, of course, had work, but luckily (yeah right) our kids get up early and we had time to open presents before he had to go to work. The kids were "good helpers" by which I mean they brought gifts over to Eric and opened them in front of him.
Livi has gotten to that fun stage where she understands that bright colored packages mean she gets to rip them open and there are fun surprises inside. Unfortunately she hasn't grasped the idea that not all presents are for her.
He still had to go to work, which is a bummer but even the State of Nebraska doesn't give work off for employee birthdays (but Arbor Day? Really?) Eric got Megamind from Ethan so we popped that in and watched while we had a fun pizza dinner.
I had made cake balls a few weeks ago and Eric had enjoyed them so I got the Cake Pops book and tried to make them for his birthday.
This is what they were suppose to look like, courtesy of bakerella.com
and this is how mine turned out.
Not too bad for a first try but they do look a little high...or scared...or manic. I should have practiced before doing them for a birthday. One problem with cake pops.....where to put a candle?

I am so impressed by those cake pops! I learned all about them due to my extreme boredom in China last summer, but didn't have the ingredients to make them. Then I had the whole hideous cupcake disaster, and I decided I probably was not going to rock cake pops, haha. Excellent job!
Those cake pops turned out very cute. I'm sure that Eric loved the fact that they were deer. I'd never seen that variety before. How fun.
Good job on the deer pops!Two kinds of pizza...Wow, makes my mouth water!
The cake pops turned out so good! Just the cake balls is enough work for me. What a good wife you are!
