happy early birthday to justin!

since justin's birthday on the 27th is going to be busy with family and the wedding dinner for his brother, i decided to surprise him and celebrate it two weeks early! he was surprised and it was so much fun. i made him his favorite meal - steak and twice baked potatoes with brocolli, onion, and mushrooms. it was a novelty for us - i don't cook meat much, and steak might happen twice in one year (poor justy). i also made an ice cream cake. it turned out pretty good.

jorgen loved blowing out daddy's candles.

a close up on the cake, there were two different types of ice cream in there...the big brown blob is actually a delicious little caramel filled chocolate cup - it was yummy!!

Happy irthday, Justin Wow! What a delicious looking cake I think Jorgen thinks so too! I have always been tempted to make can icecream cake, now I know it can be done, at least by a pro.

You are a great TRIO! Love you, GG

Dear, Dear Bren....thanks for taking such good care of my boys!! You are right his birthday gets a little squeezed in between other events, especially this year! Because of your thoughtfulness Justin will still have a special day! Love you!
