Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Yesterday was Daddy's birthday. Unfortunately, it was also Thursday, which is our crazy busy day. Evan had his last soccer game, Issa had dance, and I worked until 7:30. Consequently, Daddy spent most of the day running around like a crazy person.

 

In the midst of that, though, we did make sure he was celebrated. Yesterday morning, the kids gave them his gifts:

 Look at how excited this sweet boy was for Daddy to open his:

 He gave Daddy a pair of Nerf guns so they could play together.

Daddy was greatly amused and then moved on to Issa's package:

 She was so nervous! She put a ton of thought into her gift:

She gave Daddy a bag of all of his favorite snacks for his week off. He was thrilled, and I am thrilled we are raising such thoughtful givers who know the importance of finding the perfect gift.

I put Daddy's favorite turkey breast in the crockpot, and I did make his pecan pie. I refused to take a picture, though, because your birthday is your one day to raid the pie crust before it's served. Within five minutes of coming out of the oven it was defaced.

We will celebrate big this weekend. Since today is Daddy's last day at work, he has declared the next week his Bacchanalian. Let the celebrating begin!
