So Daddy turned the big 3-1 on October 9! The kids and I had so much fun getting ready for the party. They were talking about it all week and really excited. I decided to attempt a red velvet cake from scratch with homemade buttercream icing since that's Greg's favorite. I'd never attempted this before so I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I had a feeling there would be a learning curve involved and it might not be the greatest cake. However, it actually turned out really good for my first time, thanks to my sweet friend Jen for sharing her family recipe and being available for several phone calls throughout the day for troubleshooting! :o) Emma and I went to pick out balloons and then went to Pappa Murphy's to get the pizza. She had a blast watching the guy make our pizza and then watching it in the oven when we were cooking it later. Our neighbors Jay & Sherry came over and we had a small informal little party but it was so much fun! And Sherry brought Emma some homemade pink cupcakes which she had requested earlier in the week. So sweet! We are blessed to have such great neighbors. We have really been enjoying our new community. So Daddy's birthday party was a big hit. We are so thankful for Greg. He is such a wonderful husband and father, we couldn't ask for a better Daddy!
