Eric Turns 34!

On Sunday, Eric turned the big 34. Since it was a Sunday birthday, we had kind of a low key day. We celebrated with the Nielson's last week and we will celebrate with the Lemley's in a couple of weeks,but Sunday was just our family at home. And, it was nice to have it that way.
 The kids woke up early Sunday morning and decorated the house for their Daddy. Tessa made these signs and Adam helped get balloons ready to spread all over the house. I asked Tessa why she put cursive L's all over the birthday poster. She said, "To make it fancy".
 Eric requested homemade pizza for his birthday dinner, so Mommy whipped up this Steakhouse Pizza. It was dang good, if I do say so myself.
 Present time!
Gwen drew her Daddy a picture. 
 Tessa gave him money out of her piggy bank...and a washer (she said it was treasure).

Caleb was a little too helpful opening presents. He wanted to eat all of them.




 Caleb got so mad when he couldn't eat Daddy's books, so he got one of his own to eat. 

 The kids gave their Dad a fun game for them to play together. 
 He requested his favorite Pralines and Caramel Cheesecake for a birthday cake. I think this is the 8th year he has requested this. 
 (Caleb is going through that fun phase where he won't sleep unless he's being held.)

 We sure love this awesome guy and are so thankful for all that he does for our family! He is a wonderful husband and Dad! We are so lucky to have him!!
Happy Birthday!!
