Kili was such a delight. All she wanted to do was make it the most special day for her Daddy. She is an absolute Sweetheart. She insisted on gathering party decorations, hats and all, but I convinced her that preparing a birthday cake and special dinner would be more of Daddy's taste. She is such a people person, she just couldn't understand why we were not having a HUGE party at the house. Boy does she have a LOT to learn when it comes to the "Clark" way of things. Looks like we will need to adjust to her as she gets older...our Miss Social Butterfly!
Laya requested a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Kili couldn't get enough of the frosting we made from a Giada recipe. Hopefully in the next few days we will be able to get him a key-lime pie, one of his favorite desserts. We made an indoor picnic for dinner, which actually turned out to be a brilliant idea since Laya had to workout at night. It was best to have a "lunch" at dinner instead of something heavy. Giada again provided the inspiration: forest ham, pancheta, gruyere and apple panini hit the spot with veggies and pita chips.
Never one to draw attention to himself on his own birthday, Kili and I couldn't be more thrilled that this special guy was born and SHOULD believe he should be celebrated especially on his birthday. I try to remind him that every year. And I hope to be given that opportunity to do so in the future no matter what. Happy 38th, Sweetheart may God continue to Bless You in the many years to come.
Laya, hope you had an AWESOME birthday with your family celebrating with you. You are an amazing Dad and family man. I am privileged to know you and be a part of my life. I LOVE YOU!!!!
