It was Daddy's birthday last week and we usually go out somewhere yummy for our birthday celebrations but this year Danny asked for only one thing.
An old-fashioned, home-made, gooey, yummy chocolate cake!
That's it....that's all he wanted. (We used to eat cake but almost never do now so this was a real treat.)
And to stay home and eat it. So that's what we did.
And my little helper was almost giddy to get in there and mix the chocolate frosting.
And the requisite taste-test!! Well....yeah!
Can you tell someone has just had a sugar-rush!!! She almost crazed.
A final taste as we heard Daddy coming in the front door.
These girlies sure know how to greet their Daddy.
Happy birthday sweetie!
(oh, and he loooooved the cake!)
=)
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God.
My (growing) family.
Hangin' out with my girlies.
My wonderful friends (you know who you are!).

Oh Gee...everything actually!!

Belated birthday greetings to your husband. :)
What a sweet, sweet way to greet Daddy as he comes home. It totally melts my heart to see Z rush to the door and greet Chris when he comes home. She would literally barge into him and give him a big hug. Girls are so sweet, aren't they?
Yummy!!!! I'm sure that cake was wonderful.
Fabulous pics Wanda, and the welcome home for Daddy made me smile!!!
Happy Birthday to your husband!
