heloha. so i had my birthday a few days ago, which i am very happy to report on.
most wives do a cute little birthday shoutout to their boys-- but jenny hasn't yet, so i am doing my own.
if jenny had done a birthday post,
jenny would've said:
"david is like the best husband ever.
he is a wonderful father.
we are so blessed to have him.
the kids love him--i simply adore him and i could not have asked for a
more wonderful and sexy man in all the whole wide world.
love you babe!"
then she probably would've left out the part about the fantastic 29 layer cake she made me...so i will take it from here jenny.
"ok lovey dovey...if you insist."
i do.
this is the cake in the middle of the process:
it had 14 cake layers, 14 chocolate ganache layers, and one outer layer made of buttercream frosting.
when we cut into it...it looked like this:
this image was borrowed, without asking from bakerella, where the recipe was borrowed with permission.
i had to go to school on my birthday...:(
but got out early :)
i had to work on my birthday :(
but the students were good :)
i came home to a house full of cute kids :)
we spent over an hour picking up 8,000,000 pixos :( :(
(we didn't take a picture of that--we are trying to erase it from our memory)
on a happier note--we went sledding on mlk day-- the weekend of my birthday.
i will now make an important announcement:
this was the first non-miserable sledding day of our married life.
sledding was so fun when I was single.
no carrying little people up a hill.
no crying after 2 seconds of being there.
no putting on the gloves for the 10,000th time.
no frozen snot to clean up.
i used to be anti-sledding...until mlk day 2010.
this picture is lame:
(but what you don't see, is christian is not crying, and jack is sledding and climbing alone...and the only complaints came when we left....what a dream--except for the snow)
and in conclusion (of my own birthday post), one of the items I scored on my birthday was an Aebleskiver pan. We used to have them at the Nielsens house growing up and i loved them. i can now report that i still do.
special thanks to kathy--our brilliantly beautiful secretary at work for the recipe.
and a special thanks again to her for this out-of-this-world delicious recipe for buttermilk vanilla syrup. wow. it is party candy.
there you go. come over and i will make you some...for free.
david--that was an amazing post!
just. like. you.

Happy birthday, Dave! That cake looks heavenly and props to Jenny for taking all that time to make it! She must love you...
What a great post to yourself, David! Happy Birthday! It's a great reason to celebrate. If I could add to your tribute, I would say: He is a wonderful, faithful, FUN, smart person and a very good friend. He looks out for others and is always comfortable to be around. We love you too!
I love it! You guys are funny—even though this was written by David. That cake looks awesome. I think I might have to try it for some people's February birthdays that are coming up (they are awesome people and deserve the best).
Glad to see you posting again, by the way!
Oh David what a sweet post to yourself. I'm sure that is exactly what Jenny would say. I'm glad you didn't leave out the cake part, it looks so FANCY Jenny - the cake master. It looks like a ton of pancakes with chocolate syrup. I will be over for some of those treats partly just to hear Dad say the name of the pan and because they look delish!
Glad to hear you had a Happy Birthday!!! Haha, I was wondering about your birthday cake! Looks yummy and the aebelskiver pan, sweet! I have one. Maybe you guys should give me your delicious recipe for them and the syrup!! How are you guys??
