Happy Birthday David!

Planning David's birthday was so fun!  His birthday is January 3rd, so it's pretty close to Christmas. I often have a hard time thinking of gifts for people so I was worried that with Christmas and birthday so close together I wouldn't have any ideas. But luckily I came up with something and I got really excited to plan it all.  I decided to do a soccer themed birthday because David really likes soccer. 

I got him some new soccer socks, and a really sweet soccer ball (that he loves!). 

I also made him this soccer cake!  It was so fun!  I haven't ever really tried to decorate a cake like this before and I had a blast doing it.  I learned a thing or two about cake decorating, so hopefully I'll get better.  But I think for my first time it turned out pretty good! 

I also invited David's brother and his family to come to dinner at our apartment.  They hadn't seen our place yet so it was really fun to have them down here! We love spending time with them and their kids!

I tried to keep all these things a surprise, but it turns out I'm not very sneaky and David pretty much knew everything I had planned!  Oh well, he still had a fun birthday, and I'll just have to work on my sneakiness for next year!

I'm so glad to have a day to celebrate the greatness that is DAVID!  I love him so much, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband!
