Daddy's Birthday surprises!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Brian LOVES grape juice (as in he could
drink a couple bottles in one sitting) so
the kids bought and 'made' him grape juice and his
favorite cinnamon and brown sugar pop tart
for breakfast.

Kinsey was SO excited to give Daddy the
card she made:)

Brian gets cold at night when he's
watching TV on the couch so the kids
decided they wanted to get him a carolina
blue blanket! (TOTALLY their idea and they
all actually agreed)

Daddy's favorite: Snicker Bar Cheesecake
Cailey helped me make it on Sunday while the
others were napping:)

This year I was able to surprise Brian with a dinner out 'with the guys'! He showed up to the restaurant expecting the kids and I to be there and a couple friends were waiting for him instead! He was truly surprised..YAY!! It's not often that he goes out to eat with his friends WITHOUT the fam's so this was a nice treat for him:). They ended up staying for FOUR hours!! I was a little surprised about that, but I guess guys like to talk just as much as us girls:). Thanks for helping celebrate Brian's birthday Brandon, Anthony, and Brian!! I wasn't able to get a picture of him when he first arrived but us moms took the kids over to the restaurant to sing happy birthday to him and hear about his reaction to the surprise...we were only there for two minutes so they were able to enjoy their guy time!! Happy Birthday Brian..I'm SOOO happy you were actually surprised!
