I'm exhausted, so here's the straight dope:
1. We celebrated Matt's birthday with my parents, Shane, Patty, AJ, and the kids today.
2. The food was awesome. Prepared by none other than Chef Daddykins. Per Matt's request, we had fried chicken strips, biscuits, and mashed potatoes and gravy. We also had a salad, but let me make it clear, Matt did not request it. :)
3. The cake was a chocolate chip cake. Of course. Everything with Matt involves chocolate chips in some way, shape, or form.
4. As always, my favorite part of birthdays are the affirmations. It's just so fun and awesome to hear how much we mean to one another. And we take it seriously, our family. We don't skimp on the outpouring of love, kindness, and nice words we have for each other.
5. While we were all eating our cake and ice cream, it got kind of quiet all the sudden, and Addy looked up at Matt and said in the sweetest little voice with the sweetest little smile, "happy birthday, Dada!" That will be enough to warm my heart for the next three cold winters.
6. It was a wonderful birthday party. Matt is one very loved guy.
Thankful for birthdays. They give us a chance to really lavish one deserving person with love and special things for a few days. Thankful for Sundays. I love family Sundays. They're the best. And they're made even better when there is a birthday involved.
