Birthday Boy

You've Had a Birthday
Shout Hoo-Ray!
Hoo-Ray!

Because my husband is a busy, hard working man,

who is always so thoughtful and generous towards me,

I decided to plan a little get-away for him

"To Do Nothing" or "Do Whatever You Want"

However you want to put it.

With the willingness of nearby family,

(Thank You, Thank You!)

I was able to get the kids taken care of for

the night, and stretching into the deep evening

of the next day, too.

This is how it went:

Upon arrival home from work Friday, he found that his lovely

wife and sweet children were not home,

and found a note on the back door,

giving him short instructions to change his clothes

and come here

Where I met him

and explained that in honor of his birthday

we were going to do whatever he wanted to do.

And so we did.

we had a very enjoyable and savory meal here,

lounged and watched movies

ate dessert in bed, and

slept in till way tooooo late Saturday

morning, yet loved it, and

had time for some phantom singing to Michael Buble.

Then we ran a few important errands,

spent a whole bunch of time at Emergency Essentials,

and had lunch here:


A crowd favorite

And then we spent several hours
getting his new office all organized and
set up and saving it from
the horrible disaster it had become.
His words, not mine
He was so grateful!

On the actual day of the birthing that took place all

those great big years ago,

(Thanks to Mamma T)

we had our traditional breakfast in bed


Enjoyed by all

And the family over for a real birthday treat

the "Cold Pans",
Devoured by all.
Happy Birthday,
I Love You Babe.

Happy Birthday, Ryan! I'm not going to tell Gabe about the fantastic outing you planned for Ryan--that would give me way too much to live up to. You're incredible!
