Later, Tarek shared video on his Instagram Story with scenes from the party, including a moment where Taylor joked with the pair as she raised her birthday cake above her heads a number of times.
“In true Taylor fashion, giving us a dang heart attack with that cake,” he wrote, in part, in the caption.
Guests enjoyed mocktails and homemade pizza at the family-filled event, which also included a few different areas to pose for pictures.
After several commenters noted that Heather appeared in more of the photos than Taylor, Tarek addressed the matter, writing, “Just so everyone knows this is a joint post. I chose all of the photos in this post. So to all the people being awful to my incredible wife, be a better person….”
