On his actual birthday, the two of us celebrated with presents and Eduardo's requested dessert - pumpkin pie. And not just any pumpkin pie either. He specifically requested his mom's recipe, and even added "Don't try to sneak in anything to make it more healthy!" Smart man, 'cause he knows I would've. I'm not a big fan of pumpkin pie so I don't have much of an opinion about how it turned out, but he seemed please with the result :)
Last night we invited friends from our church small group to join us for birthday dinner at a pizza place here in town, followed by chocolate cake at our place. We felt so honored to already know so many wonderful people here in Illinois to celebrate with! It was really fun to have our apartment full of friends for the first time since the move. I wanted to do a fancy 2-layer cake with homemade frosting and it turned out deliciously fantastic if I do say so myself! I did realize that I may have been a little over ambitious - it was my first time doing a layer cake, and it was my first time making homemade frosting. It turned out to be pretty easy, but definitely a lot more work than I anticipated! I don't think it'll stop me from doing it again though, because it was so tasty (even if it was a little lopsided)! I never want to go back to that canned stuff! I know someone took pictures but I don't have them yet, so hopefully I'll get those soon.
In all, I had a lot of fun celebrating Eduardo - hopefully he did too. Here's to another great year and many more birthdays!
