Just one week before Christmas is Andy's birthday! Andy's parents came over to help us celebrate the day. Mary Ellen cooked a special dinner and brought cupcakes for Andy.
The kids and I wanted to make it extra special for daddy. An idea the kids liked was coming up with 38 things they love about their dad since he was turning 38 years old. Together with the kids we worked on the list and came up with some very special qualities and memories about dad.
After dinner, Andy opened his presents. The best gift was a "NO" button. Everytime you hit it a voice says "NO!" The funny part is how many different ways it says no. We all got some laughs out of this present. After gifts, Andy read the list the kids made for him.
Kellen is 15 months old now and gets into everything. At the moment, he was playing underneath the dining room table where we were all sitting. One of the qualities on the list mentioned Andy as the protector of the family always wanting to keep us safe. Seconds after he read this from the list, Kellen bumps his head under the dining room table and is hysterically crying. Chloe quips, "Dad, is that how you keep Kellen safe?! Nice job!"
We were all laughing. Often times, you just cannot help laughing at her sarcastic remarks!
All in all, it was a great birthday! I was most impressed with the fact that Andy was able to blow out all 38 candles in a single breath:-)
