Guess who's 39

Jamie's birthday was yesterday. We didn't do anything too exciting. I let the kids go the dollar store and each pick out a balloon to take to him at work but when we got there he didn't have his phone on him, and we couldn't get a hold of him. But this is what he would have gotten.

Here are his balloons and his presents waiting for him when he got home. I let Emmy and T.J. each pick out a roll of wrapping paper and a balloon. Do you see any themes? Emmy wants everything to be princess and T.J. loves the color yellow.

Notice the cake. It is a German chocolate cake made from scratch which is Jamie's favorite. It is supposed to be 3 pretty good sized layers but I made a few cupcakes and then when I went to put the other 2 layers in the oven, Addy reached for the oven. When I grabbed her to keep her from burning herself, this is what happened. So the cake was a little on the wimpy side.

Here are the kids helping him open his presents and blow out his candles. He did get dinner at Joe's barbecue, so I don't think the day was a total loss.

Happy Birthday! We love you.
