We celebrated Nic's 31st birthday on Friday and he has gotten a "Happy Birthday, Dad" from Liam every day since! haha The concept that a birthday is only one day has apparently not clicked yet but lets hope that by the time October rolls around it has!
That hard working man had to work for most of the day so I took the kids by myself to the mall to shop for a present from them. After going through 4 different stores and spending an hour in the toy aisle at Shopko with an indecisive Liam and a screaming Lyla, I determined it wasn't the best idea I've ever had. ;) Liam eventually picked out a Star Wars lego set and his favorite candy (m&m's) for himself, oops I mean for his dad and has thanked Nic every day since for giving him his birthday present. haha What a guy!
I don't think Nic got to open a single one of his presents but he didn't care. Lyla kept trying to go straight for the bows and paper (a premonition of what will go down on her first birthday here in a few months perhaps?!).
I made him his favorite cheese tortellini for his birthday dinner with Cold Stone's ice cream for dessert. The birthday boy got 3 candles on one side and 1 on the other for the big 31 and I sang solo to him while he kept our kids from touching any flames. The evolution of Lyla's reaction was the most hilarious thing to watch. Her first time seeing fire ... curious but not sure what to think ...
followed by CLAPPING!
All I had were trick candles and the kids were giggling up a storm every time they re-lit after Nic blew them out! My favorite picture of the night for sure! Love that happy bunch so much!!!
Happy 31st Birthday babe! Hope you felt special on your day. I'm so glad you were born!! We love you! XO
