What does a Daddy's Birthday look like?

It was my birthday on the 10th and my family surprised me with the most delicious ice cream cake. (Fun Fact - when I was growing up, ice cream cake was all that I would eat. If someone had a normal cake, I just thought it was too dry and wouldn't want any. My mom is so sweet, she would always run to Carvel to grab an ice cream cake for my birthday and special occasions.)

Teressa and Ava both made this one. Teressa put some cookies in a bag and let Ava stomp on them. Ava was actually so excited about the cake that as soon as I returned home from the airport on the 9th, I walked through the door and Ava yelled "Dada eat your cake!"

Ava helped me blow out the candles. It took us a few tries but we had a lot of fun doing it. She even sang happy birthday to me. What can melt a Dad's heart quicker than his 2 year old singing "happy birthday dear dadda"

Alright... the layers:
chocolate chip cookie crust
hot fudge
chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream
caramel
bananas
butter pecan ice cream
chocolate
whip cream
crumbled chocolate chip cookies
caramel and hot fudge drizzle

Madelyn didn't get any cake this year. But she celebrated nonetheless!

Thank you family for an awesome birthday!
