Birthday Surprise!

Yesterday, we celebrated Greg's 22nd birthday! He had hinted at wanting a special dessert that we had enjoyed at the Christian Heritage Conference (another post about that coming soon! :) for his birthday. After after doing a little searching online, I found the recipe, and when Dad got home from work, bringing the ingredients we needed, Dani, Emily, Hannah and I made this cake!

We had such fun decorating it with chocolate curls, and serving it to him as a surprise; I think he really enjoyed it! :)

May the Lord bless each of you today!

    1. We don't do a lot of gourmet, so we had a lot of fun trying it out (I said that I think our style is gourmet-- it made me want to try doing more! :).
