Happy Birthday Papa

It's papa's birthday today and everyone in the family is so excited. The kids have been talking about it all week (they even told their teacher that it was Papa's bday) and so they were sooooooo excited to decorate his cake, then sing Happy Bday and then finally share it with everyone. We celebrated a day earlier since Papa will be working today.

I made Papa a special birthday dinner since the way to his heart is through his stomach. It was this new recipe and I was excited to try it. So I headed to our local meat shop and bought 2 beautiful pieces of filet mignon. Got back in the car and did my other errands. And then realized when I got back in the car, that the meat was eaten by Tobi!!!!!! Those steaks were heavy and huge. How that small dog ate that is beyond belief. He had torn through all the plastic and chowed down. So basically, I had to return to the deli and order up 2 more steaks. James was joking that Tobi just celebrated his birthday. But in the end, the dinner ended up delicious and James ate well and had a smile on his face.

And it was also great to have Kaili and family join us for birthday cake. The girls were giddy with joy from Papa's birthday and having Kaili over. Giddy, giddy, giddy.

Papa, I hope you have a wonderful day today and thank you for always being so even tempered, having such a great sense of humour and for providing for and loving your family. XOXO
