Happy Birthday!

We just celebrated 2 more birthdays. Don's birthday was on the 1st of Feb. and Caden's was yesterday on the 8th. We had a good time with both. For Don's we had upside down pizza for dinner and peach pie for dessert. YUM! I ordered Don's gift online and it came 2 days late. So I found a big box and put a piece a paper in it to tell him what he was getting. Then I filled it with stuff he already had to give the gift some weight. I wrapped it and gave it to him. He was a little surprised at first until he understood. We now have a new game that we are sure to love. Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition. Its the same game on the German map with the addition of passengers. We are very excited about it.

The kids made him a card with promises of special treatment: car wash, backrub, etc.
He was thrilled with that!

For Caden's birthday, Sierra got up 1/2 an hour earlier than normal (5:30 am! a big sacrifice for her!) and decorated the ceiling for a surprise when he woke up. This included balloons and a card. He thought it was cool.

For dinner he chose hamburgers, chips, green salad, and fruit salad.
It was very yummy!

Hmm... what did he get?
A nice card and a fun date with Mom & Dad.

His new Cub Scout Book and hat.
He is being awarded his wolf badge this month and will begin working on his bear badge.
We are so very proud of him!

Dessert was Root Beer Floats.
Can't stick a candle in that so we put it in the ice cream.
Mmmm!

Our goof ball of a son! He can be so funny!

This picture made me laugh out loud!
