10-22, Sven's Birthday

Sven turned the big 35 this year. And like every other year since we've been married and he's been home (which sad to say, has not been many in our 11 years together), I made him his favorite cake-- mom's recipe for my dad's favorite chocolate cake with white icing. But unlike most years, we had company to help celebrate. My parents were here and Nikolas and mom did a great job (and had fun, too) decorating the house. And just before dinner was on the table, we got an unexpected phone call from a friend who needed us to watch their little boy while they rushed their younger child to the ER. (Thankfully, after 2 weeks the little boy is finally doing much better.) We set the table for one more and had their little boy with us for the evening. The more the merrier, right? And of course, the louder the birthday song. =) And to top it all off, Sven FINALLY got his Steelers jersey that he has wanted for SO LONG!
