So the other day was the Big Guy's birthday. I never know what to get my man. It is so hard to surprise him. He always says he just wants to be with his family on his birthday. However, I wanted to do something for him. For those who know my guy, you know he LOVES his Tarheels and Carolina Hurricanes. Unfortunately for me, hockey season and basketball season are at the same time. I fought it for years! Well, I have learned to "try" to embrace it. I will have to say I love to go to hockey games. They are fast pace and to be honest, I love a good fight among the players.
Back to the birthday....I came up with an idea of dressing the kids in his favorite team attire. The little guy wore a hockey shirt and the first born wore a cheerleader outfit. The kids had so much fun. So one afternoon when the Big Guy was working hard, we had some fun in the backyard. It took several shots.
Could not use this one. Bailey's eyes were closed.
Ok, help mommy out. What about a smile!
I have to say I did not get that perfect picture I was wanting. With a little editing, I made it much more desirable.
Uploaded the picture, picked it up the next day, tossed it into a frame and wha la (however you spell it), there is a gift for the man.
We all went out to eat. The kids wore their outfits to dinner. He loved the picture and being with his family. But we are not finished yet. Birthday Cake!!! I wish I could say that I decorated or even baked this cake. My dear friend, Kimberly made it in the middle of trying to show her house to sale. I did not have any specific request and this is what she put on the cake. Perfect! It went along with our theme. She knows he loves the Tarheels. Thanks Kimberly! He loved it.
My guy had fun (except at the table when Bailey WOULD NOT eat her dinner but that is another story) and a great birthday.
