Well, after many attempts by sis & I to persuade him to take his birthday off, dad decided to overrule our suggestions. We were thinking he would enjoy a nice relaxing day at the beach or lounging by his pool but I don’t think he can resist a chance to see the cutest babes in the world (& I don’t blame him! hehe). Anyway, in an effort to make his arrival this morning a tad more special, when I woke up, I hung some banners and decorated his “work bench”:
In his words, he did “cut out a tad early” (to dad, anything shy of 8 hours is taking it easy) to get ready and rested for a night out. In the evening, we treated him to a dinner at The Original Fish Company, adults only! I don’t think we have had a dinner out with mom, dad and just us “kids” since pre-Alizea! (& it’s quite apparent)
(Trying to guess his gift)
Ahhh, we had such a wonderful time! And the girls had a great time playing at cousin Caleb’s house too!
Happy Birthday to an incredible, amazing, strong, tender, loving Dad, Bapa and friend!
Here’s to another year of health, happiness and prosperity!
Oh how fun…A night out with the fam and no kids = What a treat! PS I have the same wrapping paper!
Marisa, I must confess that when I drove up to the house and saw the effort you had gone to in order to surprise me and make me feel special, I found myself tearing up. I was on a high all day and the day was topped off with an awesome evening of laughter and togetherness. (We missed Martita!) My birthday was so much more than I could have ever expected or imagined! I never knew turning 61 could be so much fun!! Love you, Dad
