Rich's 37th Birthday!!!!

Rich turned 37 on Oct. 22.  I took him to REI to shop for some outdoor clothes.  He did some great modern dance moves in the dressing room, but refused to perform for the camera.  He really hides his talent.  :)  I made a chocolate cake from scratch that included a haitus of a few hours for me to go to the store for more ingredients (that I missed on my morning shopping trip) and eventually get back to cake making.  I finished the cake, but I didn't finish making his gift until the next day.  His 37 candles really lit up the room.  Rich is going to hate that I posted this first picture.

This is the gift I made for his desk at work.  "Kisses for Daddy" makes him smile.  And, apparantly Rich's boss says she wants to eat her cheeks.
