Daddy's Birthday!

This past Saturday was Lyndon's birthday!  We were way more excited than he was.  He has never liked celebrating, and I have learned to keep it toned down for him.  When we first got married, I thought he was just saying that and really expected a huge party with lots of presents!  I was wrong. So now days, we keep it very simple, and make simple gifts.  We did go out to eat...he let Logan and Luke decide. So, McDonald's it was followed by homemade strawberry cupcakes (really the only request for his birthday)!

Usually, Lyndon's only idea for gifts is a gift card to Barnes & Noble.  However, I knew he was going to get that from someone else, so the boys and I came up with another idea! They started out helping me just fine, and this was the end product!

They had been very patient with the project, so I gave them some paint and PAPER and intended to let them do some art while I cleaned the kitchen...

...this is the finished product! My neighbors behind us either laughed or called their realtor when I took the hose and washed them off in the backyard! The cupcakes and gift were a big hit, so it was totally worth it! Love to my very kind-hearted, sweet, caring and gracious man!  We love you more than you will ever know!
