26 for Scott

So it was Scott's birthday the week before we left on vacation. I'm a little late, but between leaving for vacation, being on vacation, and then coming home and getting a bunch of phone calls for interviews (yay!) I've been trying to keep up with life (and honestly I've been a little lazy).

On Scott's birthday we had dinner with his family. So the night before we went out to dinner. He got to pick, and decided to go to this Hibachi place we were told about (thanks Wendy!) in Lehi. They're kinda a faster version of Hibachi where they don't do all the tricks. You just order, they make it, and then you pick it up. Their noodles are AMAZING, and they serve a lot of food. Scott always wants steak, and I always want tempura vegetables (mmmmm, I'm salivating just thinking about it!).

I said, "Look happy," and this is what I get!

So on his actual birthday we went to his parents, grilled some burgers and hot dogs, and hung out with the gang. Scott's family get together all of the time, which is just fine by me. So everyone was there except his brother who is on a mission in Texas. His Grandpa even came down for it.

Just having a good 'ole time chatting.

Earlier that day Scott's Mom asked me to make a cake for him. I asked Scott what he wanted and he said, "Make something nerdy." What they heck does that mean? So I thought and thought and thought until I decided that I could make a scrabble cake! Scott loves scrabble, but no one will play with him because he's so good at it.

Yes I measured the lines. And the squares are butter mints that I put letters on. They were a little small to also put the score on too, otherwise I would have. Scott said that he forgot to calculate the score on it. I even looked up a picture of it so I would put all the colors in the right spots for bonus places.

A genuine Scott smile, kinda hard to get!

And of course, I got these cools candles that glowed in different colors and they didn't want to light. In true Huff fashion, Scott's Dad decides to get out his torch and light them. I thought it was so funny I just had to immortalize it in a picture.

The arm in Scott's Mom.

So that was Scott's birthday. Lots of fun, and concluded by us going home and packing all of our camping gear into our car for our trip. Post on that to come.
