Happy Birthday, Dad!


Today is my dad's birthday and we celebrated the occassion at our house. Madeleine had been looking forward to this evening all day so she could yell "SURPRISE". So, she got Natalie, Steven, & Audrey in on it too. They hid behind our lazy boy chair and when dad walked in they all yelled surprise. I made Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo for dinner and German Chocolate Cake for dessert. We had a nice evening together as a family.
(For the record, we know how goofy Natalie looks in both pictures. Most people try to smile nicely for the camera, but Natalie has always been "special" in that she does just the opposite. That is one of the many reasons why I love her. )

Happy Birthday, Dad! You are the nicest man I know and I am so thankful to have you as my father. :) The saying, Girls marry their fathers is true because the same traits I love about you are evident in Steven also. I hope you had a wonderful birthday. You don't look a day over thirty! :)
