Dan the Man!

I just wanted to stop for a minute on this crazy busy birthday of yours to say I love you.  I am so grateful everyday for all you do for me and our family. I'm especially grateful for the love, support, advice, help and relief you give to me on a daily basis. Thanks for being who you are. I am in love with you, like you can't even imagine. 

Even with our very busy schedules today I hope we were able to make you feel important, special and loved. 
Happy 32nd Birthday Dan!
Dan is not that fond of dessert. CRAZY, I know!!! His least favorite dessert is cake, so on his birthdays we have to get a little creative. This years cake was made out of Dan's all time favorite dessert... Smoothies. 
Behold the smoothie cake!!! 
The kids have fun thinking up a new birthday cake idea each year and surprising him with it! They will tease him all day by saying" I can't wait to have some of your birthday cake" or "We got you a huge cake with extra frosting" all the while knowing how much he dislikes cakes.

Dan's big present this year was a new Grill. It was much needed and he is very excited to start grilling. I am also very excited for him to start grilling. Anything that keeps me out of the kitchen and keeps the mess outside : )
WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Birthday Dan! I like your cake ideas Stacey. David doesn't like cake either, but I am not that creative, so he gets it anyway!

I love the smoothies instead of cake idea. I really love the candles in them! Thanks for coming over today - I had fun!

I can't believe DAN is that OLD!!! Where did the time go?
I don't like cake and frosting either. I either get a tub of sherbet or a pie!
Much love,
Doreen

Wow, I can't believe how long its been since i've seen your family. Your kids are so cute. I hope you guys are doing well. If you ever want to take a trip to Orlando you have a place to stay.
