26 Years

Today my dear husband turned twenty six! Of the three Wixom girls that live here in Rexburg  (the only family that we have in Rexburg), two were going to be gone today. Natalie was headed off with her adorable son to Vegas (and then off to California. I'm a little jealous :) and my other sister was headed off on a canyoneering adventure. Top that off with our birthing class tonight, we were limited with time and family and decided to celebrate the big day yesterday so that way we could actually party!

We held the festivities at my sisters house, which meant I needed to bring everything from my house over to her house. Naturally candles for the cake were forgotten. Luckily her husband just turned 27 and her son recently turned 1, and so we were able to get creative (even if the 1 made it in backwards). And in all reality, it's just the taste of the cake that really matters (although, aesthetics are rather important in my book). I made a mint ice cream cake for Robert, and mmmmmmm it was delicious. 

Sadly I forgot my camera so I didn't get any other pictures. All in all, it was a wonderful evening. Birthdays were always a pretty big deal when I was growing up, so I was glad I was able to help Robert-o celebrate. And apparently 26 is now a pretty big deal, too. Last year he qualified for cheaper rental cars and this year he is having to get his own insurance. So three cheers for turning 26!
