Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Dan, happy birthday to you.... how old are you? you live in a zoo!  {well, that does fit!}  

Yep, today is my honey's birthday {as well as his twin sister, Donna, of course.....happy birthday Donna!}. This is #38 and I have to say, he's still as cute as ever!  Last night I baked him a devil's food cake with chocolate icing.  Evan added sprinkles & Collin put on the candles, I think he was 16.  We had a meeting to go to later, so my mom & sister Carol were going to watch the kiddos.... which made us lucky enough to score one of Dan's favorites, homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes & corn.  Lydia begged grandpa for the beater from the mixer while he was making the potatoes {& of course she got it!}.

Today I think Lydia & I will take him out for lunch, since it sounds like he wants to stick around home tonight.  Unfortunately I think we've been home about 2 evenings over the last week or so.  This morning the kids & I surprised him with Reeses PB cups, a new wallet & Office Season 2 DVDs.  Maybe we'll veg out w/ popcorn & beer & watch the Office. 

Not only is it Dan & Donna's birthdays, but Lydia turns 18 months today!  I'll have to get some pictures of them together.  Unfortunately, Lydia fell on the sidewalk the other day while Dan was in St. Louis & so when he came home, she was looking pretty rough.  Still looks bad.  She got her nose & a spot high on her forehead.  Just rashed the skin on the concrete, so hopefully by next week it will be mostly healed.  She goes for her checkup early next week.  Can't wait to see how much she's grown over the last 3 months. 

Happy Birthday Honey....... I Love you!!!!!

& happy birthday to the best daddy EVER.....
