Dave turned 40 a couple weeks ago! He wasn't thrilled about it, but we tried to make it fun for him anyway.
We got together with my family the day before. He requested a tres leches cake. It was the first time I made it, and it was super moist and delicious!
We had a big combo party for Dave, my nephew Jacob and my friend Nancy's son, Austin.
Jacob turned 13 - an official teenager!
Austin turned 16, which is a big deal!
Chloe loves birthdays, and she's got this candle-blowing-thing down!
Dave had to work on his birthday, but we spent the day getting ready for a fun party. We all did 40 of something - Dallin had the idea of throwing 40 balloons at him when he walked in the door. He was so surprised!
Tyler gave him 40 Jolly Ranchers with a list of 40 ways he makes him "jolly."
Levi gave him 40 flavors of Jelly Bellys.
Dave told us not to get him anything, since he has been buying some things for his upcoming 54-mile hike with Spencer (hiking boots, hiking pants, wool socks, backpacking tent, etc.), but I got him a $40 gift certificate to the movie theater. For dinner he requested fried pork chops and peach/blackberry shortcake. I think we managed to make it a fun birthday for him.
