We also celebrated another very important birthday in September...someone who makes Ethan, Henry, and I who we are. Someone who is our rock, our provider, our constant. Someone who we adore, look up to, laugh with, and most importantly love unconditionally...and that someone is our "man", Matt/Daddy/the hubs!
When I asked the boys what kind of cake we should make for daddy, they responded with a "Gunners" cake. Well, actually Ethan was first to speak up, but Henry shortly copied and after a few days of repeatedly asking about making daddy a Gunners cake, I knew one was in my future.
For those of you who don't know who the Gunners are, a brief synopsis:
Gunners is a nickname for an English Premier Football League team, the Arsenal Football Club. They are based in Holloway London and are one of the most successful clubs in London. Ethan and Matt would spend early Saturday mornings watching soccer and Ethan just took a liking to the Gunners. Not sure if it is because it allowed him to use the work "Gunner" without getting in trouble or just the fact that they were good and actually won games. I am hoping for the latter. Regardless, Ethan had no doubt what kind of cake he wanted to make for his daddy.
Since I didn't want to make a cake in the shape of a gun (I am trying to avoid gun talk/toys at all costs even though it is inevitable), the next best idea I had was a soccer ball. So, off to Hobby Lobby I went to find a mold and this was the end result...
Ta-dah...pretty darn good if you ask me!
We didn't do much to celebrate except have a nice family dinner at home, sing Happy Birthday, and open a few gifts!
Having a serious discussion about the cake!
So excited!
Make a wish!
A very happy birthday to a very special man in our lives! We love you so much and look forward to celebrating many more birthdays!
