sweet surprise goodness

so, the other day, i got this comment on my valentine's day post:

hmm.

i had no idea who anonymous blog follower was!

i asked matt.

negative, he had no idea what i was talking about.

then, my brother aaron showed up at our door that afternoon, grinning from ear to ear and holding a huge stockpot inverted over a plate.

he announced that he was my anonymous blog follower,

and with a flourish, pulled the pot up to reveal the amazing and delicious surprise underneath.

you might remember that my siblings are very creative, 

and that aaron made me this rockin' birthday present last year!

remember this post?

well, my awesome brother made. the. cake.

and not only that, but he improved upon it. 

check out this amazing love written out on top of the cake.

and then, for the surprise inside!

sidenote: my brother has never made a cake in his entire life.

ruby is smart, so she's quick to try and grab some.

(of course she didn't eat any, my friends- what, are you crazy? she's 8 months old!)

so rad.

have a lovely and sweet day, my friends!
