Can I Say Something…

Posted on December 30th, 2007 by Kate. Filed in A Life in the Day

or is this Russia?

A $10 iTunes gift card goes to the first person who guesses correctly where that question comes from…and NO, Bobby, you can’t participate.

So, seriously…can I say something? My husband is THE. BEST. HUSBAND. EVER.

Not only did he brighten up my crappy 31st birthday (on the 29th) by showering me with gifts (iPhone, cool coat from Urban Outfitters, and a lovely meal complete with champagne at Rick’s Chophouse), but HE GOT ME A CAKE, people. How sweet is that? Almost even better (kind of close to make the call), he took Millie to the potty all day long and didn’t really make me lift a finger to do any work. WOW. I was a Princess for a Day.


My cake was from The Cake Stand, of course.

The details of it were GORGEOUS!

Though we are usually sugar Nazis, we let Mills have a few bites. She went through a wide range of emotions and strangely developed a Hitler moustache during the cake tasting extravaganza. If anyone could work that moustache, though, it would be her.

Ahhhh, we girls live for the chocolate!

Happy B-Day Miss Kate! You share the day with my favorite person….my daughter Mia. She turned 3….I was at a wedding. So it was sad for me. Sounds like your wonderful hubby made it a great one for you! Beautiful cake. We need to get together soon! Happy new year.

Happy Birthday, Miss Kate!! We share birthday’s!! My cake looked NOTHING like yours, I assure you!! I have decided that my kids should be jealous of Millie…..her entire life will be photographed beautifully for her. My kids have your standard first day of school shot in front of the house or school and Mills will have an entire photo shoot that looks incredible!!! I just love all the everyday pics you get of her and your entire family!! Hugs to you girl!!!!
