Happy, Happy Birthday Mikey dear

Party Central!

Today is Mikey's birthday! I am so lucky to married to such a wonderful man! He didn't want me to give him anything for his birthday

(he would like to forget them, but we aren't like that here....we like to party!),

but the kids wanted to make his day special!

So, Friday afternoon we picked up his special Mrs. Backer's birthday cake.

Amazingly enough, it has lasted until his actual birthday!

The kids woke up EARLY and waited for me to come get them. We made him breakfast in bed. Quite the accomplishment for us since our church starts at 9am. Then, the kids gave him his presents, an AC/DC rocker shirt, a Guitar Hero shirt, an iTunes gift card and wrote him an AWESOME candy poem. The girls remembered how cute Lindsey N's candy poster was when we were in NC on her birthday, and wanted to do one for their Daddy.

The girls reading their poem to Daddy.
It says:

Happy Birthday, Daddy.

You are one 'Hot Tamale'

You are an 'Extra' fun Daddy.

We like to give you bunches of 'Kisses'

You are a 'Life Saver' and a 'Sweetart'

All the other Dads are 'Lemonheads' and 'Nerds' but you are totally 'Chill'

You are a 'Whopper' of a good Daddy to all your 'Junior Mints'

The hugs you give us are 'Good & Plenty'

We like to see you 'Skittle(s)' around the house

You are a 'Whopper' of a good person

Everyone knows you are not a 'Gobstopper'

You are an 'Extreme(ly)' good Dad.

Love your 'Sugar Babies', the '3 Musketeers'

We went to church and both Mike & I had to substitute different Primary classes. He was in sharing time first, so I slyly talked to the Primary leader who was conducting before I went to class. When it came time for the birthday kids to get a song sung to them, they called up Mikey! He wasn't alone, however, our good friend, Casey, who is a Primary teacher has a birthday this week, also. I just wish I could have been there to see it. He said he was surprised!

So, we are going to let Mikey do what he enjoys doing on a day off....resting, watching the Olympics and I'm actually cooking dinner for his birthday!

Happy Birthday Babe! We love you so much! XOXOX
