Would you like some spit with your cookie??

Today we celebrated Dan's birthday! It was extra fun because we had my sister Nicole and her boyfriend Teddy here visiting from Boise. We had a yummy breakfast full of Dan's favorite breakfast foods; omelette's, extra sour-dough English muffins, spicy hash browns and BACON being his favorite! Then we took a nice scenic drive to check out our new lot. He had his favorite Thai food for dinner, we opened his presents, watched a movie and had dessert. A nice relaxing day, well, as relaxing as it can get with 3 little kiddos running around. I had bought all the stuff to make those fancy chocolate lava cakes and all he wanted were these Devils Food Cake Chocolate cookies. The easiest cookies in the world to make. I'll add the recipe for you to enjoy, because they really are pretty good and super easy! The highlight of our night was watching the kids try to blow out the candle. In our family, if one person gets to blow a candle out, they all want a turn! We thought it was so funny, we had them do it at least 20 times, they never got tired of it and neither did we! It might be one of those, 'you just had to be there' moments, but I'll add a video anyway. We are so thankful for Dan. He is such an amazing dad and husband, the rock of our family! 
One year older and wiser too....Happy Birthday to YOU!
