Happy 35th Birthday, Daddy

Today is Daddy's 35th birthday! And to celebrate it up right, he took the day off to study...yes, study! Daddy has been in study mode and didn't want a big hoorah for his birthday and I understood that, but we had to have a little birthday fun nonetheless.

First, Andrew asked that Daddy come pick him up school and then we went to Pumpkin Park so Andrew could run around and play. James wanted something very lowkey for dinner...nothing fancy. So, he chose Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. After, Andrew wanted Yogurtland for dessert. But after that, we came home and had birthday cupcakes which Andrew helped to pick out earlier.

Andrew was really cute about James's birthday card. With my help, he wrote "Dad" and signed it "AJ" and then drew some pictures on the card. He was so excited about it! When we gave it to Daddy, he said "Happy Birthday!" It was so sweet. He becomes more and more into birthdays--his own or others--that I really love how excited he gets.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!! We love you so very much and are so lucky to have you in our lives. You make our world and we couldn't ask for a more loving, caring husband and father.
