No matter how old you get, birthdays should still be special days! We can make them as fun (and yummy) as we want, we just need to put some effort into them:)
Robert was finishing his pediatric dental course in Texas on August 21st, the day before his birthday. He could have flown out of TX on the 22nd, but then he'd miss spending his birthday with us because of the time change. So we "convinced" him that we wanted him home ON his birthday, which meant he had to fly out in the evening, right after his course was over. He didn't mind:))
Originally, I was going to have a surprise party for him at our house with lots of friends and their families right as he arrived. But then it turned out that two of our best family friends were going to be out of town that day, so I decided to change our plans.
On the 22nd, we had a special dinner with Robert's favorite slow cooked cream cheese chicken and noodles and a chocolate cake. It was so nice to have him home relaxing.
The kids totally got into this birthday celebration thing this year. They decorated the whole kitchen and entry way and made a "happy birthday" sign for Tato.
Thirty Six--so young!
Our birthday celebration was not over:). On Wednesday, after Robert's birthday, I told him we were going out on a special birthday date with me. But in reality, I had invited ten other friends to join us. The plan was for us to show up at the restaurant and see everyone waiting for us as a surprise, but because of traffic, when we got there, only three people were there:)). So it was still a surprise, but quite a weak one:). Most people trickled in shortly after 6 pm, and it was still a great evening.
Mallory made a ghost tooth cake for Robert, which was delicious as always!
So grateful to be able to celebrate birthdays in a special way! Happy 36th birthday, sweets!
"Well, hi, Adlai":)
