On Friday, Eric turned the big 32! It wasn't the most exciting birthday weekend because it was a school weekend. He got to celebrate his birthday by sitting in a 6 hour marketing class. Kind of a bummer! But, we tried to make the most of it while we had him with us.
Last Sunday, we went to Ma and Pa's house for a birthday party.
He got some gift cards, a game for the wii, and a new Jazz hat!
Blowing out the candles on his Banana Split Cake.
The kids were very anxious for him to open his presents, so at 8am Friday morning, before everyone left for school, we opened presents. And I say "we" because they kids had to help him.
Tessa got him his favorite candy and some Angry Bird Star Wars stickers. I'm sure those will come in handy someday. It took me a couple of days to talk her out of getting him a pet Chinchilla. She thought that would be the most perfect gift for her Daddy.
Adam got him a new Star Wars game for them to play together. (These kids love Star Wars! I have raised them well!)
Adam and Tessa really wanted to get him Wreck It Ralph, so we did.
And from Mommy, a Blu-ray player. We are slowly (very slowly) getting caught up with modern technology.
Our camera was not cooperating today, but this morning, we finally made his birthday breakfast that ended up being a birthday brunch since we had to wait until after his Bishopric meetings were over. Then, we spent a lovely evening over at Mamma and Bampa's house to celebrate both Eric and Lisa's birthdays. I made Eric's favorite cheesecake for dessert and we had a nice time visiting with everyone.
We love you, Eric and hope you have a wonderful year being 32!
