Nine years ago today I made my new boyfriend cupcakes that said “baby cheeks” (one of our endless inside jokes) for his 29th birthday. Today our five year old, Mad, and I baked him a pineapple colada cake. While our three year old, Bitty, made him a play dough cake. And our nine year old, Aub, made him a sweet video collage. This evening we went to celebrate his birthday with a Chicago style dinner at a place that just opened that we first tried on a trip to Chicago last year. It was a fun evening with our little monsters and our moms celebrating a fella that we all adore. Happy birthday love!
