November 17th was Ava and Sheri's 11th birthday, which we celebrated this past Saturday. Their day started off with some time at the park while the older girls...Jessica and Makayla wrapped their gifts and decorated the house! So when we got home from the park everything was all ready to go and the twins were pretty surprised. Everything looked fabulous...thanks girls!!!
We ordered the cake from Publix earlier in the week and picked it up Saturday morning before the park. This had to be one of the BEST cakes we have had so far and with eight kids we have had a lot of cake! It was an all yellow cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting...so yummy! I can't wait until the next birthday so we can order another one...I may just make up something to celebrate so we don't have to wait! lol
For dinner Rick made their favorite steak dish which all the girls have been asking for, for months. As most everyone who reads my blog knows I have not eaten any kind of red meat in over three years due to my stomach issues. Well Rick, being so very sweet that he is has been dealing with all my chicken dishes. BORING, I know! Well over the past year I really have been feeling pretty good, only one attack that sent me to the ER and that was stress related for sure! So the past four months we have been testing my diet out a bit, adding new things here and there and so far so good. Well...I ate the birthday steak dinner without any problems and I have to tell you it was without a doubt the BEST steak I have ever had! I just love when Rick gets in the kitchen...I just know something amazing is going to come out and we have so much fun cooking together.
Happy birthday to the girls! Love their wonderful cake.
Oh and I think there is something SO SEXY about a man that will get in the kitchen. LOVE IT!!
