Happy Birthday Old Man :)

I love kidding with my hubby. He takes it all in fun. So - today is the perfect day to do that - it's Chris's 32nd birthday! Now - until today - Chris and I were both 31 for 1 month and 1 day; that makes it all the "funnier". He really isn't TOO much older than I am.

The cheese factor for this picture is pretty high. Honestly - the picture was the last one for our dossier (we needed another family picture).

We did celebrate his birthday tonight with a miniature carrot cake (with cream cheese frosting... mmmmm...) - candle and all. Ashleigh was so excited at the prospect of putting 32 candles on the tiny cake; much to her disappointment, we only had 12 candles. :(

We actually did a lot more celebrating last night. We went to dinner at Red Robin and gave Chris our gifts. Chris will soon be disturbing the peace in our neighborhood... he got a drum set. It is something I have wanted to get him for some time now; who knows WHY I decided NOW was the right time! As if four kids weren't enough to disturb the peace!

In all seriousness...
Chris is not the same 15 year old that I met in 1990. I have said it before and I will continue to say it... I am so thankful that God knew what I would need in a husband LONG before I knew I needed it. He also knew that kind of man that Chris would become (and is still becomming). I am such a blessed woman. I am on the adventure of a lifetime with my very best friend.

I love you, Chris.
