Nin's Birthday!! (Dylan)

Today is the day! Our good friend Dylan turned 19! Bennett and I spent most of our day preparing for Nin to come over. --- We call him Nin, because that's what Ben calls him (because he can't say Dylan yet) --- We woke up at 8:30 and I turned on some cartoons-- per usual. I cut up some strawberries and oranges and that seemed to be enough to keep B occupied so mommy could bake some goodies.

I got my ingredients out, realizing I needed room temperature butter for my buttercream. Well... I forgot to take the butter out sooner, so I set my (8) 1/2 sticks of butter on the stove hoping the oven would warm them just enough to come to temp.

ANYWAYS.

I started with the lemon cookies. Nin loves these cookies, ever since the first time I made them. He was one of my guinea pigs, taste testing all the things I was trying out for the first time. SO, I knew these were the cookies to make! Once those were done, I remembered the butter.................................................................................. THE FREAKING BUTTER! Each 1/2 stick had started melting and I had to scramble to move what was left in order to have enough for the scratch made chocolate buttercream frosting. I had plenty left, but cleaning up a blob of melted butter was not fun.

Then I started the yellow sour cream cake, which was FABULOUS by the way. I mixed everything up, greased and floured the pan, threw it all in the oven and started the buttercream frosting. I set the frosting aside, let the cake cool & ran to buy some sprinkles and candles. (We also took daddy subway for lunch)

Cake was cool, so I frosted it, threw sprinkles and candles on & set it aside. (Nothing special)

I checked on my chicken I had been cooking all morning. (Did I mention I was making chicken enchiladas for dinner?) The chicken was cooked perfectly, so I shredded it up with a fork. I started making rice, and once that was done, I got out some crayons. Bennett and I colored, we made Nin a banner. It turned out pretty decent except for the fact that we only had 4 crayons to color with.

Dylan loved his enchiladas, his cake and his cookies. We sang happy birthday and he was totally embarassed. We also got him a ticket to see Daniel Tosh with Will, since their birthdays are only 9 days apart. 

Overall a pretty good day, I'll throw some pictures in here somewhere. Hope yall had a great day, we had a pretty good day! We're all going for a walk now to walk off the 2 slices of cake we each had after our 3 enchiladas each haha!!

Ta ta for now.
