Party like it's your Birthday

Happy, happy birthday to the absolute best friend, husband, and father a girl could dream of for her family!  Mike turned 33 today (and I think his first Social Security check should be arriving next week, ha).  Because I firmly believe that birthdays are best celebrated over multiple days, I did my best to make his weekend full of fun, surprises, and lots of his favorite things.  Friday's dinner was spent at Red Robin enjoying his "birthday burger," something that's turned into one of the longest traditions in our relationship and that he looks forward to each October.  Saturday started with Eggs in a Basket, included an hour-long massage, and ended with dinner at one of our favorite steakhouses, Carlo & Johnny.  Sunday started with presents and blueberry pancakes, included a trip to the Chocolate Festival and ended with a home-cooked dinner of Chicken Parmesan and Chocolate Cream Pie at the birthday boy's request.  All of this was peppered with a lot of fun, cuddles, smiles, giggles, and dancin' with his favorite girls!

The shirt says it all!

My Dad rocks!!
Fun side note, this weekend last year was when we surprised Mike's family with the news that Baby Kelly was on the way, what a difference a year makes!

Happy Birthday, Mike. Even with all the great food and gifts, I'm sure that precious little smile was all the present he every wanted. She somehow gets cuter every time I see a picture of her. Speaking of, I want to see her in person! When's your next visit?!
