Daddy's Surprise Cake

Since we couldn't get to his surprise cake on his actual birthday, we brought it out today!

And here's Jeric and Zoë enjoying the cake!


And yup, we're totally using a stool as a makeshift table. Our couch and dining table are still pending delivery.

Happy Birthday Jeric/Dada!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Our plan to surprise Jeric at midnight didn't work out. Haha. Zoë fell asleep pretty early and there was no waking her up at midnight. I tried for several minutes, but nope, she didn't budge. Oh well, she was staying home with Jeric today anyways, so she can at least surprise him with the present and birthday cards. I was supposed to stay home too, but unfortunately, we had a meeting with one of our clients at work today, so there was no way I could ask for it off.

Anyhow, here's Zoë and Jeric sleeping in while I get to head out to work.

While I was work, Jeric sent me a few pics of the cutie.

Here she is eating Jeric's free mini bundt from Nothing Bundt Cakes.

And here she is watching Toy Story 4! Which totally goes with one of the cards she got him.

Once I got home from work, we headed out to Mom & Dad Samoza's to have dinner with everyone.

Picking Out Daddy's Birthday Card

Took Zoë to Target so that she can pick out a birthday gift for him and a card.

A few days ago, I wanted her to as Jeric what he wanted for his birthday. But she told me that she wanted to buy a surprise toy for him.

Then today, when I picked her up from my mom's, she changed it up a bit and tried to negotiate. She said, "Let's ask Daddy what he wants and buy me a toy instead, how bout that?" LOL! I just had her also get a little something for herself, but still had her pick whatever she wanted for Daddy. Silly thing.

On the way out, we stopped by the card section. Honestly, I totally wasn't thinking about the birthday card until Zoë was like, "Lets get a card for Daddy," when we walked by the card aisle.

I had her go through the birthday card section to pick one out for Jeric and she went straight to the kiddo section. Hahaha.

I told her to pick a card that reminds you of Daddy. She ended up picking a ton! LOL

After reaching 10 cards, I was like, "Ok, that's enough." Then, I held two at a time and had her pick which she liked the most. In the end, it came down to a Toy Story 4 one and a Tangled one. She could not pick her favorite at all. Hahaha. Sooo, we just got both!

We also didn't really have a box for her little present that she got, so I helped her make one. She helped me out by cutting little strips of tape to keep it together.

Once the box was finished, she wanted to decorate it too.

Once it was all done, we hid the present and the cards in my drawer for tomorrow. We also bought a teeny ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins that we hid in the freezer. Our plan was to surprise him with it once it hit midnight.
