Nick had a birthday... Shout Hooray!

This past week has been Nick's birthday week. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull it off but I decided that I would get him a present everyday for seven days since he has spoiled me these last two birthdays. They ranged from silly little gifts like a diet pepsi to silly awesome ones like the first season of ChiPs. Yesterday was Nick's actual birthday and we celebrated over at the Langstraats house because our apartment doesn't really accommadate more than four people. (Thanks again guys!) We had dinner there, ate the experimental Snickers cake, and then opened presents including his last one from me.

The Cake...It has melted caramel, peanuts and chocolate chips in between two layers of chocolate cake with whipped butter cream frosting and snickers bars on top...it was pretty delicious but I felt like I ate five candy bars in one piece of cake...

I knew that Chad and Erin were getting him the BYU hat so I saved the reversable BYU basketball shorts as his last gift.

Birthday weeks are hard work but I had a lot of fun trying to pick things out for him and I think that he had a lot of fun opening up his silly presents everyday.

Its a good thing that his birthday was after the crappy BYU game. Hopefully we'll win the next game when Nick wears his BYU gear. Happy birthday Nick. Now I could really go for a snickers candy bar, maybe even a king size one.
