I'm a day late, but better late than never right?
Happy Birthday to the best Daddy and husband! Thank you for everything that you do! We enjoyed a "Daddy day" yesterday. Mike stayed home with us. The kids loved spending time with their Daddy, just playing cars and baby dolls. Then we went to the local waterpark and had a ball in the water, even though it was on the chilly side.
The afternoon before Mike's birthday the kids helped me wrap Daddy's presents and then we put them into the hope chest for safekeeping. Both kids were under strict orders not to say a word to Daddy until the following morning. As soon as Mike walked in the door Carter told him "Don't look in this chest Daddy. There's nothing in there for you, just blankets." That wasn't obvious at all, Carter! So needless to say, Daddy opened his presents at breakfast time. I don't think the secret could have been kept any longer!
It's funny how when you get older birthday presents become less about you and more about what the family needs. We got Mike a blue ray player to replace the XBOX as our DVD player. The XBOX would lose the picture on videos and the kids were complaining because they couldn't watch their shows. Thus, Mike's birthday present! Also, we finally replaced Mike's gym bag that he has used since high school.
Ava enjoyed the cupcakes. I did too, way too much. I'm learning I just need to keep junk food out of the house. I have no self-control, especially for baked goods!

Happy Birthday Mike!
(Hard to believe that you are going to be turn the big 3-0 next year, huh?)
