Wishes of Warm Birthday Party

My husband grew up in south Florida.

Ohio's winters can get l-o-n-g for him.

And his birthday is in February.

Yeah.

Always pretty cold.

So I decided to bring him reminders of warm weather for his birthday a few years ago.

I had received the awesome Hello, Cupcake


book from my friend Carisa and found this idea in it:

Monte went to the University of Florida.
Their mascot is the Gators.


Now that I look at both of them,

not so much of a match.

But it is the THOUGHT that counts.
The teeth are marshmallows I cut into triangles and the pupils in the eyes are mini Junior Mints an the toenails are
the bananas in Runts.


I also surprised him with flamingos in the yard. It was like 10 degrees that morning. And 82 degrees in his hometown.

Trying to be a good sport.
