Jordan's Birthday

I know I am a bit behind but I’m going to play some catch up.  We had a party for Jordan’s birthday a few weekends back and it was a themed party.  The theme was J for Jordan so you had to come dressed up as something that started with the letter J.  Now before you all think that I am pregnant, I went as JUNO from the movie Juno.  I gave my mother a bit of a scare on facebook, so I don’t want to do that to any of you.

I decided to make Jordan a cake for his birthday and I got the idea for the cake on Pinterest.  If you haven’t heard of Pinterest yet, you better go to the website and give it a look.  It is one of the best websites out there and it can satisfy anyone because of all the different categories to look at.  Anyways I found this recipe for a cake that was called Chocolate Wasted Cake.  There was a whole recipe for the cake and frosting but I decided to do a box cake and Betty Crocker frosting to save time.  Anyways I baked two round cakes and layered them on top of each other.  Then I poured frangelica on top of it and let it soak in.  I then frosted it and pushed chocolate chips onto the side.  Now for the top I took Mars bar, Snickers and Rocky Road Cadbury chocolate (Jordan’s three favorite chocolate bars) and crushed them up and put them on top of the cake.  And just because there isn’t enough chocolate on here I drizzled melted chocolate on top and down the sides.  It was fantastic and totally lived up to it’s name.  I don’t think we touched chocolate for the next week.  Anyways here are a few pictures of the cake.

Finally around 9 the party got under way and people started to show up.  There were about 6 of us to begin with and we played a drinking game.  Here is a picture of Jack, who came as Johnny Bravo, with his head down on the table because the rule was if you said someone’s name you had to put your head on the table until someone else said someones name.  Just makes me laugh thinking about it! 

Here are Lindsay and Jordan going as Jamaicans.  At least the hats fit but I don’t know about the rest of the outfit.  Ha!

And here are the three of us and them being excited about the “baby”.

As more people showed up the party got even better and the liquor started to flow a bit more.  Let’s just keep in mind that we were celebrating, and we don’t drink like this on a normal basis.  So the jello shots that I made the night before with Lindsay came out and that is when the fun really started.  These jello shots really brought out the best in us and it just started to become really, really fun.  Here is a picture of them and of us taking some.

Aww fake baby love!

I will sum this post up with pictures.  I am pretty sure you can figure out for yourself that we had an amazing time and that we just didn’t want this party to end.  Happy Birthday Jordan!!!
