Hello beautiful day..

Today has been such a lovely day. Today my husband celebrated another year of becoming younger, of course! ;) No but really we celebrated his birthday, and boy what a lovely day it turned out to be.
I was so thrilled to see that the gift  I ordered from shutterfly had arrived. I had a customized book made for him. It was a gift from both my daughter and I.  He absolutely loved it!

 
 
We also enjoyed a nice lunch at Bj's brewhouse.  Once we arrived back home we enjoyed some play time with our daughter.  We played with some blocks, and did some butterfly catching. :)
 
 
 
Later on in the day I baked a delicious strawberry cake..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It was yummy, I topped it with a strawberry whipped topping I put together.
Also with some fresh strawberries, and drizzled chocolate. It was a hit! :)
I'm really enjoying my husband's leave time right now, so I haven't been doing a lot of crafting. Just enjoying this time spent with my loves. It's been wonderful.
