happy birthday niels…
May 26
today was niels’ birthday… my gemini, always keeping me on my toes with that dual personality. niels and i are a great pair – he keeps it interesting, he is fun and FUNNY and he’s got that edge that well, i just love… anyway, i had a busy day so my window to get the house “birthday ready” was very small – the girls helped with the streamers. they each made him a present – elle glued her favorite Littlest Pet Shop to a rock and painted it with puffy paint. jette painted a rock like a lady bug so niels could use it at work as a paperweight. brittsy licked some of the icing off his cake. I made him an “arizona sioux” necklace since he has been asking for one for months. we ordered him a cake from my obsession du jour, azucar, – a confection of passion fruit, raspberries and burnt marshmallow icing (i’m not sure if anything smells better than a burnt marshmallow). we were ready! the minute he walked in the door from work, he was accosted and had to open his presents on the spot! the girls get SO excited about our birthdays - it’s important to them that our day is fun, exciting and special. they can feel it! we had a great night – went to our favorite neighborhood haunt, the birdhouse (turkish cuisine) and then watched “hotel for dogs.” happy birthday niels….

Love Niels’ birthday! My hubby and his whole darned family don’t like celebrating birthdays – I just don’t get it! But my sisters and I LOVE birthdays – anybody’s. So festive, so fun, once a year, all about you! Bring it on…and his cake sounds so yummy.
