The Big 30!!!

Kris turned 30 on February 24th but due to family illnesses we weren't able to celebrate until Monday. Earlier in the month when Tal had been picking the kind of birthday cake he wanted (Transformers), Kris piped up that he wanted a "Dwight Shrute Bobble Head" cake and that I would be the coolest wife if I could do that. Kris and I are big fans of the sit-com the Office and so I took on the challenge while he brushed the thought aside. I went online and found this bobble head that I knew he had to have. I could barely contain my anticipation in the weeks that followed until his birthday. Tal almost spoiled it by telling Kris that something had come in a box for his birthday but I would not give even one little hint.
On Saturday before his birthday I took him out to dinner and a show at the Theatre Factory here in town. But when his birthday passed without a cake and receiving "his box," Kris was mystified. So on Monday I made his cake and hid it downstairs, then invited our neighbors the Thompsons, to join us for the suprise. After Kris's birthday dinner of Seafood Alfredo Fettucine we were cleaning up the dishes when the Thompson's knocked on the door. I quickly ducked downstairs and grabbed the cake so when I reached the dining room we shouted "Happy Birthday." Kris was dumbstruck. Literally, all he could say was "That is sooo cool. That is sooooo cool." I was thrilled to have suprised him. After singing "Happy Birthday" we dove into the cherry and chocolate chip devil's food cake. YUM!!! He was thrilled with his cake and especially his bobble head that now has a special place on his desk at work.
