As usual, Jenna did an excellent job with the meals for Casey's birthday all day long. She barbecued bratwurst and hamburgers and made a delicious jello salad and fruit salad for dinner. The bratwurst was superb! Great job Jenna!
This birthday cake was unbelievable! I can't do it justice in describing it. I think Jenna said the recipe called it a "heaven and hell" cake. It had angel food cake and chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse and covered with chocolate ganache! I'm not sure how I managed to only have one piece! It was so-o-o-o-o good! I thought this was a great picture of Casey with Jason and Paisley in the back.
I gave Casey a rubber mallet which was on his wish list! I think he liked it.
I just had to include this picture with Casey's smile. He wasn't real happy about me giving him a "self-help" book but I really thought it was a classic that he would find interesting. Oh, well....
I did better with giving him this 25 ft measuring tape. He was happy about this gift. You can see a piece of Casey's birthday cake on the plate Ashley is holding.
We had a grand time that evening playing Guitar Hero. It was so fun - I wish we could have done it for longer. Nate did a great job of singing. I even took a turn at singing Taylor Swift's song, "You Belong With Me." I love that song and her other song, "Love Story." Casey emailed me the songs and I've been listening to them as I blog this morning! (Thanks Casey!)We all had a great time celebrating Casey's birthday and appreciate all the time Jenna put into cooking. I know she was up early that day making preparations and probably the last to bed that night with the little boys. That's a really good wife.
